Labor Day Weekend

We headed North for a long, relaxing weekend with the kids anticipating a fun-filled time where we would hang out by the lake and they would catch fish. No one let the fish know that and the fish didn't cooperate very well at all. But, despite starving because we had no fish to eat, we managed to have a great time. Luckily, we had a trailer full of junk food to tide us over. We also enjoyed some great rain, a few hands of poker, which I finally beat Buckaroo at, and quality family time picking on each other and getting mud in places it doesn't belong. My hubby got to spend some alone time in the great outdoors, which always makes him happy. Punky got to peel out on the quad and jump some hills, (I shiver when I think about her turning sixteen if her quad driving is any indicator of what is to come). I got to read 2 books, oh my!

"Look Mom, no hands." Maybe this is why we caught no fish :)

No fish were caught, but apparently crawdads are a good runner up. This was caught as the raindrops of a HUGE storm were beginning.

Our resident "cool rider"-mind you, it was raining, but all riders NEED shades

What a couple of handsome men

My very own pot of gold!

Notice I have no pole in my hand, my favorite kind of fishing
