The kids stayed with Carla’s last night so Anna and I had
the morning to ourselves. Actually, there was no difference, except weren’t here.
We had some coffee, showered and then drove over to mom and dad’s. Aunt Christy
is staying over at Parker Lakes and she was the first one we saw when we
entered mom and dad’s. We all chatted for a bit and left around 11am. Mom had a
nail appointment and dad went off to exercise.
Off to Carla’s we went to have the girls with some shopping.
Amanda and Carla still needed to buy some stuff for Carl’s Celebration of Life,
so they had plans to get all the shopping done today. Anna and Olivia went with
the ladies. Eric was busy fixing some things around the house for Carla, so LT
and I decided to take the boys play mini-golf.
After a little golf the boys and I headed over to Lakes Park
for a little ice cream. It only took a bottle of water and about 7 napkins to wipe
the boys down. It took 8 napkins to wipe me down. Yummy and messy!!! That’s the
way we like the ice cream!
LT and I headed back to the hotel around 2pm to wet the
lines a bit. I went out to cast net for a bit, caught some bait and then
started fishing. LT came out about 30 minutes later. Beginning the angler LT
is, it wasn’t long and he hooked into a Red Fish. He baited the hook and
through it back out and within a couple of minutes the pole bent. It was a Saw
Fish!!!! This guys was AMAZING!!! What a catch! I only wish I would have taken
a video. We had to cut the leader because the last thing you want is to get hit
with one of their teeth. |

LT headed in a short time after and I continued to fish
without success.
