Another home game brought my family for the weekend and we never lack for fun.
Super Smiley Peytie Pie. I snapped this one just for the hat. It seems she's growing out of (and into) clothes every minute.
On Friday night we went to "Hot Dogs and Hot Rods" at the elementary school by our house. It was a fundraiser for them and dinner for us. You can't beat a hot dog, chips, pop and a cookie for a buck. Yep, a buck. Libby's favorite part was the playground, and she loved to hang without Shane holding on. It's tricky to catch her after she lets go, but before she hits the ground.
Julane and Jamison went to the game so that left me with Jayden, Libby, Peyton, Blake and Olivia during the game. The bounce house was a huge hit, and Anna Lisa and Cameron even joined us in the fourth quarter. We had a happy meal picnic before commencing the bouncing.
Cameron shared his shades with Libby.
This morning we piled into the suburban, or Air Force One as Anna Lisa calls it, and headed for our own little crabbing expedition. It was foggy when we got there, but it quickly burned off as you'll see in the pictures. It was a beautiful day and we ended up with a crab count of 16.
What a handsome boy!
The fishing crew...
Shane beached the boat against a sand dune so I could (without her life jacket) feed a screaming Peyton. The gang piled out of the boat and headed up the dune which was a lot harder than it looked. Each step launched an avalanche, and Shane, Peyton and I were in the boat laughing at all of them. They eventually made it to the top. When Peyton was fed I handed her off and got out of the boat to show them how it was done. It was steeper than it looked, and I'm not in the best shape of my life. It was their turn to laugh at me.
Grammy Jane and Libby tackle the hill.
Meal-Ticket Mama
Phat and Happy
Julane and Shane pulled the pots. We had seven in the first one. I opened my fat trap and said, "At this rate we'll have our limit in no time." I totally jinxed us. We never saw another full pot. It was fun none the less.
Grunny drank quite a bit of salt water and hunkered down to feel queasy.
We're working on "thumbs up". This is Libby's version. We've got some work to do.
Libby takes in all the action of the day.
A seal friend followed us around all morning.
Libby keeps an eye on the seal while Grunny growls at it.
Libby couldn't keep her hands off of the fish finder. The buttons were irresistable!
Shane measures crab.
Julane tries not to get pinched.
The Greenhorns head in with our catch.
Grammy Jane takes Libby up to see the crab cleaning action.
Shane's boat....or Libby's?
