Texas '09 Vacation... part deux

All has been going well here in TX. We actually had some rain yesterday which tremendously cooled things down and allowed Liam and I to fish for three or four hours. Liam caught a variety of about 50 or so Sunfish, Bluegills, etc... I caught the same panfish as well as about a half dozen 10 in. Channel Catfish and one MONSTER 2 ft. one! What a big slimy sucker he was. I was right under the boat dock and didn't even have to reel in. We also managed to squeeze in a Thanksgiving turkey dinner (don't ask) and a boat ride.

Today Cathy's dad, Liam, and Owen got to go flying in a small plane. Liam got to ride in the front seat and as they aren't back yet I sure hope he didn't touch any of the buttons up there.

Texas '09 Vacation

Well... we are currently on our sort of annual trip to visit Cathy's dad in TX. I'm not quite sure why we pick this first week of July since it is regularly over 100 degrees. Mainly, I think Liam looks forward to fishing and shooting his six shooters. We have eaten some very good Tex-Mex, gone tubing already, and of course fished. We'll see what the rest of the week holds in store.

Liam learned how to blow bubbles on the airplane.

Full Texans? and Dora the Explorer?

I know all of my faithful reader base hasn't seen much out of the blog here in the last two weeks or so... I thought I would post a couple end-of-the-school-year-pics here for you of some things that have gone on. We are leaving for TX in a couple weeks and that should provide some ammo for me to blog about.

Just a few picks of "Owie the Toolman" from yesterday... Liam is gone with Grandma & Grandpa so Owen is an only child for a while. I'm not sure if he likes it or not.
