Travel Surprise

A long holiday weekend gave us the opportunity to travel to Tennessee and visit family.  The kids were so excited ~ we didn't tell them we were going until we picked them up from school!

Once we got to Gigi and Bubba's house, they couldn't wait to go fishing

of course, Reagan wanted to take a boat ride and see the sunset

Cooper was pretty excited to go on the boat too

Boatin' and Fishin'

After a lazy morning (a pedicure for me, lawnmower rides for Cooper and Reagan staying in her pjs until 2pm).  We took a late afternoon boat ride.  Reagan had wanted to watch the sunset on the boat like we did last year, but the skies were overcast and rain was in the forecast.  So we went on a boat ride while we had the chance!

We came back on the dock to watch Bubba fish

After dinner, Greg and I went and bought Reagan and Cooper fishing poles of their own and some worms.

Can you believe she's handling a worm?

Cooper liked playing with the worms too

Patience, patience
