So far, we are having a great summer! It is going way to fast though! Last week, grandma came to visit and brought my cousins, Dusty and Cody. My kids were so excited to see them! My Dad called me Wednesday afternoon and said that there were tons of crawfish in a creek near his deer camp and asked if the boys wanted to come and catch them. I thought it sounded fun so us girls tagged along too. We had a blast! The crawfish were everywhere! The kids doned thick gloves and took to the creek snatching up crawfish and tossing them in buckets. I wasn't very crazy about standing in the creek so I tried out Dad's method of "fishing" for them with turkey neck tied to a string. (I think I am hearing the Beverly Hill Billies theme song right about now!) It actually worked! We were catching 6-7 at a time! We ended up catching enough to cook 4 pot fulls and fill three other coolers! Boy were they Yummy!
"Fishing" for Crawfish
Not into crawfish at all but the water sure is fun!
Cooking and Eating!That morning we went swimming at our complex. We've been swimming several times this summer already. The kids love it! Trevor
is getting pretty good at swimming alone. Peyton is pretty scared of the water and was spending the whole time on the steps. Last week, however, I convinced him to try floaties. Now he will swim all over the pool! He still doesn't want his head to go under but hopefully we can overcome that soon. Morgan on the other hand is completely fearless when it comes to water. Once I put on her floaties she was all over the pool. She'll even jump off the side, go completely under, and pop back up laughing! She doesn't want anybody to catch her! I guess I better hurry! The kids are begging to go swimming now!
Jumping as long as somebody catches me!
Canonball!
Yelling, "Su-per-girl!" as she jumps in!
PS Trevor's baseball team came in second at the USSSA State Tournament this weekend! I'll be posting to their blog Vicksburg Billies later today!

Such a great summer so far. My kids have been really getting into swimming also. It is so fun to see them learn. Lane is my little Micheal Phelps??? (is that spelled right)
Looks like ya'll are having a ton of fun! I have never been crawfish hunting/fishing. That looks like a blast. And Jonathan absolutely LOVES the swimming pools. I'll have to get him some floaties. He has floaties built in to his swimsuit, but they won't hold him all the way above water. Love the pics!
What fun!! Sam would have thought he was in heaven getting to fish for crawfish!!! I love those midair pool pics, those are so fun!!! You are a great photographer!!!
