FISHIN' FUN

We had lots of fun fishing in the month of June. Here is one of the many fish that Ethan caught. In a 48 hour period, he caught 12 Bass, 2 Croppies and had a Northern on his line, but it got away. Ethan thought that he was "good enough to be on TV."

Poor Karissa she could not catch a fish. She did catch this lovely tree, twice. Here is Daddy, her hero, trying to get it out of the tree. She declared "that fishing was not for her."


Finally, after 3 hours of fishing, Karissa finally caught one.
It was a fun day!

FUN AT THE PARK

Diamond Point Park was recently remodeled and it is so beautiful. We spent many days here just playing and having fun.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Liberty will not descend to a people; a people must raise themselves to liberty; it is a blessing that must be earned before it can be enjoyed.
