Headed Back

It was time to head back home after our brief visit in Tennessee. The kids weren't ready to come home at the time I had planned for us to leave, so we stayed through lunch and let the kids get a little extra spoiled!

nerdy Cooper ~ he thought this was so funny!
Reagan showing off her bridging skills
She also showed us all how to do the splits
Cooper can't decide what he wants to play with ~ the train or the broom
Looking at the Queen's castle in pictures
Cooper caught his first fish of the year...actually the first fish of his life!
Reagan was very proud of him
a bass (so I'm told ~ I wouldn't know one fish from another)
Cooper was kind enough to put the fish back in the water
Bubba had to get the hook out of the fish's mouth
Cooper was ready to go out on the boat again

Daddy tried showing Reagan how to fish, but she just wanted to watch
"All Aboard!"
Reagan would rather play with the lures than fish with them!
