Official End of Summer

The official end of summer weekend found us visiting John's parents in Oklahoma.  We enjoyed a long weekend at the cabin.  It was pretty hot so we didn't have energy to do much other than fishing and swimming, but we definitely took advantage of the opportunity to do both those things.


Check out this haul!  Sorry if your squeamish but we're pretty proud!  This was definitely a group effort.  Colin caught the biggest fish in the first five minutes of being on the pond, which is good given his current attention span.  It was his only catch of the day.  We think Grandpa caught the most.  Seth gets the prize for getting the most fish in the fastest time.  With his lucky fishing pole in hand he caught two fish in two minutes. 
John took the boys to one of the "swimming holes" he played in as a kid.  The boys thought it was "awesome" and said it was more fun than our local aquatic center with water slides, lazy rivers, and climbing walls. I think there's something innate in little boys when it comes to the outdoors.  There's a little Huckleberry Finn in all of them.  
Look for a separate post today with pictures of the boy's birthday!
