Over the river and Through the woods

Well the boys made their first week long stay at Nanno's house. I hope she's not too worn out because they are ready to go again! After the end of a quiet week at home spending lazy days we went to pick up the boys and see some more family. In 5 days I loaded and unloaded the car 6 times! If you hadn't figured it out yet we have lots of stops, and try to make the most of the time we have to see everyone. Friday morning we took to boys fishing at a house where Daddy got to fish while he was growing up. Actually he tries to make it over any time we are at Granny's.







It didn't take even a minute before they started having luck. While none of the fish caught by the boys were large they had an absolute blast. They were catching them so fast that I had to help put worms on the hook!! This wouldn't be so bad if I could just stick one on there but I had to tear them into smaller pieces to fit, eeeewwwwww.








After about an hour or so when the temperature and humidity level were at 95 we thought it best to go eat lunch and take naps . So while the boys and I slept Daddy got to go back and make some of the little fish into......





bigger fish!








Saturday afternoon we were able to spend some time with my sister and most of her family. We had better pics but some times the silly face just wins by default!



Then Sunday evening after services were over we all got together at Grandpa and Grandma's house to celebrate Father's day with most of the Wise Guys.



Monday morning Pa-Pa showed the boys (and me) how to Crab. Talk about very unsanitary fun, we had a blast. You take a raw chicken leg, tie it to a string, throw it out, wait and when you feel a bite pulling it real slow so you don't scare it off. Oh yeah and be quiet the whole time! As you can imagine slow and quiet are not some of our strongest traits, but they did catch crabs and relatively easily.



Marshall didn't even need bait he would scoop them up off the edge of the water and voila.



This one did not have pinchers so I held it! I'm no dummy.




All in all we had just over 30, some of which were a good size but we let them all go till next time.
