Fishing Round 2

Uncle Brian & Aunt Melinda got Micah a fishing pole for his birthday and since Micah's parent's do not fish that means that they have to take him! :)  Thursday afternoon after school was a perfect afternoon for a little bit of fishing.  He had a marvelous time even if the Lighting McQueen fishing pole didn't bring any fish in.

Checking out the afternoon's catches.

The kids were very curious.  Becca even touched one!  I was so shocked!

Micah holding up the fish (even though none of them belonged to him).

Great photo with Uncle Brian and Aunt Melinda!  Micah had a wonderful time again and Becca was just thrilled to be there for 5 minutes! :)

Birthday Party Fun!

As in the years past we celebrated Micah & Rebecca's birthday at the same time.  (Both August birthdays - it is a lot easier to do just one party!)  It was a fun night with the family and, of course, food! :)

Recent Flooding

I finally find time to do this post now that the rivers are going back down.  It is hard to believe that amount of rain that we received a few weeks ago.  One Sunday we were going to go to Nick's parents for the evening and started to hear reports that there was water over the road.  So we headed out like normal. :) Fortunately the water never made it over the road, but as you will see from the pics it was as close as anyone had ever seen it. 

What I find crazy is that there shouldn't be any water in any of these pictures!  There should be crops growing where there is water!  At least it stopped raining, but not before many farmers lost their crops and many homes were damaged. :(

Ozarks Fun

Last weekend we had the treat of heading to the Ozarks for a long weekend with Nick's family.  A lovely relaxing weekend was had by all!

Becca first trip down the waterslide.  She was terrified, but she went 2 more times! 

Micah slipping and sliding his way down.

At one point we shared our pool with a large frog.  Micah was not to excited about this swimming beside him.

After much commotion and work, Nick was finally able to capture the unwelcome guest and threw him far into the timber.

Fishing

A few weeks ago Uncle Brian and Aunt Melinda took Micah (and Nick) fishing.  Micah had a great time.  He didn't catch anything, but he was thrilled with the experience and hopefully there will be more fishing in his future!

Micah tells me that this was the 1st fish of the day.  Can you see the excitement on his face?!?!

The little fisherman.

Probably getting some tips from Uncle Brian, the resident fishing expert.

Thanks, Uncle Brian and Aunt Melinda, for a great afternoon!
