Joel and I arrived a little after 4:30. I had forgotten how hot it got in Richmond and when I opened the door it was like walking into a hot oven. uh sooo hot! All of us arrived safely at Grandmothers house and patiently waited. Well Joel's dad came home and then left then his mom ended up doing some errands in town until 6:00 so we all held our breath hoping that they'd come home and not go out to dinner since dinner was ready to take over to the house. They did come home and stay and we all showed up in a long caravan and blew our horns and made quite a great surprise!
Thursday evening we had dinner made by Grandmother Sloan.
Friday morning we headed out to the Moyers lake and went fishing and the kids swam. This was such a perfect day. Not too hot, great fishing and the kids had a great place to swim.
Anna discovered the slide!
Joshua enjoyed swimming around the slide.
Emma found some tubes that she could float on.
Lucy enjoy playing in the sand!
Here was my big catch of the day! I had gotten several nibbles and caught a small large mouth bass but I was dying to catch the big one and here it is!
My large mouth bass weighed a little over 3 1/2 pounds! Man was I tickled pink! This is officially the biggest fish I've ever caught.
Joel caught his large mouth bass first. Actually Joel's first cast he caught a fish and then they just continued to jump on his line. I think it made the rest of us just work that much harder so that we would catch a fish! He's just too good :)
Then after mine came Michael's catch. He caught a doozy of a bass that weighed in over 5 pounds!
Here's my Fish.
We opted to keep our fish and have it for dinner on Sunday. Joel and I made a yummy marinade and wrapped the fish in foil and grilled it with our chicken in case someone didn't like fish. The fish was a big hit from Eleanor who even ate the fish tale in the picture below!
Monday we played corn hole and the little ones watched however Joshua and Anna became good corn hole players.
Our surprise of the day was this ugly guy. The ladies were sitting under the trees watching the men play when Beth spotted something moving in the grass. It was a spider that was moving a long with its sack of baby spiders and come to find out when you looked really closely the baby spiders were crawling all over the mom. uh it's gives me the creeps just writing this. I don't do spiders!!! Ticks also became our big challenge of the weekend. I think just about everyone found at least one on them.

Zane ended up catching his bass right before it was time to go. We were all some pretty excited people!
