The Wilsons

This weekend we were blessed with being able to hang out with the Wilson's. I am so glad that I was able to have some time off to visit with them.

I came home from work to find that Glenn mowed my grass, Vivian planted some flowers, and the boys enjoyed some movies on my new TV. So they literally made themselves at home!

Papa Bear came in on Friday and made sure to take us fishing over the weekend. That was really fun, even though the weather was not good at all. We were still able to catch a good bit of fish. Gotta love getting some red fish in the freezer. Of course we ate pretty much everything we caught, so there wasn't much left over.

It wouldn't be any fun if I didn't get hurt, right? Friday night I was trying to jump from the boat to the pier. That didn't go the way I thought it would. I nearly knocked myself out by breaking my fall with my head. So I look up to see Justin laughing his tail off. I would have laughed too, I am sure that it was funny to see someone trying to jump two feet and falling on their head.

Lately its not fishing with me and Justin unless there is boat trouble. There was nothing different this weekend either. We got PawPaw's boat and went to put it in the water. Before putting the boat in we noticed that there was no key. We put the boat in anyway and I used the troll motor to get from the launch to the camp. Shortly after leaving the launch I remembered that we did not take off the motor brace (from the trailer to the motor) so I reached down for it, but it was too late. It had already fallen off into the water. So I continue on my ride to the camp and the troll motor goes out. Completely "cu-put". Justin had to get the other boat to tow me to the camp. So now we have a boat with no key and no troll motor. When we got to the camp, that's why I fell on my head. Oh, and my Chaco flip flop fell in the water. They float, but the current was moving. So we took about 5 minutes to find a flash light. Luckily I was able to find the flip flop about 100 yards down the bayou. We all worked on the troll motor to get it up and running again. We found a key at a boat shop, drove all the way there to find out that they did NOT have a key. We finally gave up on the idea of going fishing in PawPaw's boat.

Its a good thing that PaPa Bear had his boat up a running. At least some of us were able to go fishing.

Oh yeah, and the cooking! We ate super good all weekend. That had a bit of an affect on tightening my belt for work on Tuesday. I have got to slow down on the blackberry cobbler!

Maybe I will have some red fish pictures to add to this post later on.

What a great weekend!
