Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day at Great Grandma's house. Papa, Gra'ma, Anne, Abby, Great Granny, and Lilly all invaded around eleven thirty. It was a wonderful day. GG cooked a bountiful lunch and we all ate our fill. After lunch it was down to the lake. Papa had bought Anne her very own bamboo fishing pole complete with bobber and raincoat(that's what Anne called her lifejacket.) Mommy was thankful for the extra safety precautions because Anne tends to be oblivious about the dangers of falling off the dock into the lake. (We have already signed up for swimming lessons this summer) It must run in the family, falling off the dock, because I jumped into GG's lake when I was two and GG had to jump in after me. I can remember conscientiously making the decision to walk off the end of the dock into the lake. Thankfully, GG had excellent life guarding abilities! All this to say, I was able to relax because I knew Anne was wearing her raincoat.
Papa had spent the morning digging in the dirt and gathered quite a collection of fat juicy worms. They turned out to be excellent bait because Anne caught two fish and even hauled the second one in on her own. She was very proud. I caught one fish, but it was to big to fit in a picture.
Abby and Great Granny spent most of the time resting inside and Lilly enjoyed a day of frolicking in the woods with Salt and Princess. She loves pretending she's an out doors dog.
After a day of fishing, running, and resting it was time to come home and see Daddy. Unfortunately, Scott had to work all day and missed out on most of the fun. We did bring him a few leftovers. I post more picutres of the day when I get a chance. For now, here are a few.
