Father's Day Weekend!
Wow, what a weekend! The whole family went to Port O'Conner for a fun filled weekend of sun, fishing, swimming, and visiting! Ryan and I left Friday after work, and met up with a friend of ours in Port Lavaca (Kench Connely). We checked out his beautiful new home! It brought back so many memories of hard work in the yard, painting, scraping, and tearing down walls to make it a place you can be proud of. Everything looks great and we can't wait to go back and stay a little longer. Sorry Lindsey that we missed you!
We got down to Port O'Conner around 10:00, just early enough where i could catch my first fish of the weekend...only to know later it would be my only fish. We headed to bed soon after 1130 and woke up early the next morining where Kelli, Trevor, Dad, Stephanie, Brian, and Captian Gary went fishing again. I spent most of my time learning how to cast and picking out the birds nest I had made in my reel. Where Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Brian were catching tons of fish at the back of the boat....good thing Kelli, Trev and I scared all them fish back there! Ha Ha!
Ryan went out that evening and then next day with all the guys who wanted to wade fish. They, of course caught the limit of speckled trout. I stand corrected, Bridgette Rameriz (Jay's girlfriend) hung in there and also caught her own supper. Way to represent!
All the family did get a chance to go see what wade fishing was all about because Uncle Gary took us out on the boat 2 hours later, so we could see for ourselves. Since we were WAY over the boat limit with both the guys and us, he left us on an island of shells while he moved them to another location. We looked very stranded, all alone on this strip of land with not one boat coming by to see if we were okay!
We left later Sunday night sun burned, tired, and some of us hung over, but made it back safely with the memories of a great weekend! Check out some of the pictures on the slide show!
