Labor Day

We stayed around T-town for the holiday weekend. Enjoyed relaxing at home & seining the catfish pond.

Water...Water...Water....and some fish

I was off on Friday, so after Littlest C's 4 month dr apt, i headed down to my AJ's to meet my mom and JR to go swimming at the Crestwood Aquatic Center. 

After a few hours of swimming, we got ready to head back to AJ, waiting patiently on Grandma and JR. 

We then enjoyed dinner at my AM's, visited with the family and then the girls and i headed home. Saturday we enjoyed playing in Lil Miss C's pool and bbqing at home. Suzie was lovin the pool as well. 

Sunday we went out to the Farm and helped sain the catfish pond.

Then they moved on to helping grandma.

Lil Miss C didn't have any problems playing in the mud or swimming in the pond. She had a blast. 

Afterwards we enjoyed some fried catfish, a wonderful holiday weekend spent with family. 

Trout fishing

This weekend we went fishing and floating with Mr. C's family. We went to a state park known for its trout fishing. Mr. C had never been trout fishing so he was really exicited for multiple reasons, not only to try a different type of fishing but also because he got to fish with his dad who does not fish that often. the rest of the family went for Thursday-Sunday, but we worked on Friday and headed down after that. We got there and joined everyone around the bonfire, relaxed, shared stories and decided on the fishing plan for the morning. Mr. C and his dad got up early and went and found their spots in the stream. They fished for a few hours and then came and met up with us ladies. It wasn't the best fishing morning, Mr. C didn't catch any and his dad caught 2. So they were talking about how to change things up for the evening fish. We all then went on a float trip, which was fun and relaxing. when we got back from the flaot the boys had about an hour to fish and then we all went to dinner and called it a night. The next morning was a better fishing morning, between him and his dad they caught 8 fish! which was the limit for the day. It was a wonderful weekend spent with family and enjoying the great outdoors!

Snaggin on the River

Mr. C loves to fish. About 2 years ago he got into spoonbill fishing. This type of fishing involves snagging. I finally got to see firsthand how he fishes when he goes snagging as I have not yet gotten to join him on a trip. The boat has been to full so far with people who are going to fish. On Mother's day we took a boat ride on the river and he took his snagging pole with him.

Normally they fish in the middle of the river right next to the dam so he didn't catch anything this day but it gave him something to do while waiting for the bbq to be cooked. Hopefully one day i will get to go along and watch him reel one in!
