Labor Day fun

Can you believe I forgot my camera?? These are the memories I have to "ponder in my heart".

The boys have been dying to go fishing, so Dan found a beautiful clear lake for us to go to. It was about 2 1/2 hours away. Close to Lubbock. Beautiful it was! The water clear....a few boats....and even fish! But after a few hours of fishing and catching nothing, we decided to go to another lake was passed on the way over. Plus we had brought a canoe, and with all the boats making the water rough, we couldn't use it here.

As we were approaching the other lake, Dan said "this lake is probably a brown lake." And boy was he right! Ugly dirty brown! No swimming for me, thanks! However brown, it was a great lake to take the canoe out and fish in. The canoe only holds two, but we made room for Drew, so I just laid on the "beach" in some shade and listened to my Ipod. It was very relaxing! When the boys got back, they still hadn't caught anything, so decided to keep fishing. To our surprise, Dan actually caught a beautiful, white cropie!! It was big too! (really, it was!!) Since we had good luck, we decided to keep fishing, but after a while we decided to pack up and head home. Dan started the day saying it was "catch and release day" - so sadly, we let our beautiful, big fish go.

Everyone had a blast. What a great way to spend a day off together! Dan always does a great job finding great places for us to go do what the boys want. XOXO Wish you all had been with us! Maybe next time...
