First fish of the season!

Some of Alex's friends that came to his bday party.

Nice job, Al!

We share our space with these geese.

Just waiting...

The big 1-0! See all the smoke? They were the candles that you can't blow out. They produced so much smoke that I was concerned our smoke alarms may go off!

We went back out to The Pit today and after about an hour had a smidge of luck. Actually, it was Alex that had the luck and he was so happy to catch the first fish of the season with his new pole. It was a beautiful day and we spent about an hour and a half there. It abruptly came to an end when Ryan discovered he had a tick on him. He threw down his pole and started bawling and ran to the van all the while screaming "I'm never coming out here again!!" After getting the first one off he found another as we were driving out of Lyle's and I actually had to stop the van to get it off him because he was screaming. Then while at Lyle and Marcia's house, he came in bawling because he had found another one on his pants. Needless to say as soon as we got home he was in the bathtub without me even having to suggest it. :)
