here fishy, fishy, fishy

memorial day weekend we went to namaw & poppy's for a good 'ole fishing trip.  everyone looking cool as cats in our hats!

here was one of ben's many catches of the day..reeling it in

 & got it!

gracie's favorite thing of the day was finding a tiny froggy.  one of her newest obsessions.

mr. benj wasn't the only one to catch the fish.  here's gracie with her big one!

 & here's momma!

 mine was so big it needed 2 pictures!

these are my favorite pics from the day...

man, was it hot!  i was glad gracie was hot, so we could go back to namaw & poppy's & chill in the ac.  but, we did make several trips out to the lake.

the crew taking a break.

one time, ben thought he was ready to go home.  but then, he got that fifteenth wind & went on to catching some more.

after daddio & uncle rocky saved this snapping turtle from some line, both kiddos were ready to skedaddle.  & we did!

i won't mention what happened to that beast after they saved him...
