We had a busy weekend this year and it just involved the four of us.
On Saturday we took the kids to Burke Lake. Paul and I used to go there when we were dating and ride bikes, can't do that anymore. Anyway we walked around the boat dock and down the pier and saw some small fish and one turtle trying to get a worm on the end of a fish hook. Thankfully the person got it out of the water before he latched on. Then we continued to walk around the HUGE lake, if we did the whole thing it is 4.5 miles. After walking we took the kids on the train and I took them on the carousel. We were going to have a picnic but I think Evan was too pooped out and was ready to go home. So shortly after arriving home Evan's new friend, Augusto, stopped by and they and Joni, her first time, went out in the backyard and played in the sprinkle then later the hose. Augusto sister Roxanna stopped by and she ended up getting soaked in her clothes, but they all had fun, which is what matters. Now my poor little girl, Joni, ended up with major scratches on her knees and lower arms from crawling around in the wet grass. 
On Sunday we went out to breakfast, which we haven't done in ages. After that we decided we would try to take Evan fishing since he really wanted to do it the day before. So we tried to find him a kids fishing pole, unsuccessful, but not giving up. So we came home and packed a cooler and headed out to my father-in-law's property in Rixeville, VA anyway knowing there was a fishing pole there we could use. We used Larry's pole and actually caught one fish. I tried to get a picture of it, but by the time I got over there it wiggled it's way off the hook. Evan was upset that he didn't get to cast, but the pole was so long we were afraid he was going to throw the pole in. So we must find a kid pole. That is our mission tomorrow, if it isn't raining too bad.
So until next memorial day!
