Homecoming and fishfest

Now that Ike is gone and we are recovering things are getting back to "normal" around here. Or in other words "busy". It is homecoming at the high school this weekend so at all the schools around here they sold ribbons and the kids wore them to school to support the local team. Here are my kids Friday morning ready for another exciting day of school.



Then Saturday the kids got back on schedule with soccer. They all had a game this morning (but I forgot my camera so no pictures). Well later on this afternoon one of JT's friends wanted us to come to the city pool for the annual fishfest. They take the city pool and dump a bunch of fish in it and tint the water so you can't see and they allow you to fish in it and keep whatever you catch (it is catfish). Well his friend had gone earlier that morning and caught like 20 fish, but when it got hot they stopped catching so they waited til it cooled off to go back and we went with them, but didn't catch anything. We ran into some other friends while we were there, but no one caught one fish. We still had fun though.







This picture was taken by Dylan, I was trying to get his line straightened back out when he picked up the camera and snapped this one. My kids love taking pictures almost as much as I do!

Tomorrow JT has another soccer game so if I remember the camera I will try to share those pictures later. Hope everyone else is returning to a "normal not so busy" schedule around here! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
