Catching the Big One

We went fishing yesterday at the pond behind our house. Nicholas loves it, so he is fitting right in with his brother and dad. Patrick took us by surprise with the monster big mouth bass he caught. Chuck had to help him reel it in and hold it for the pictures. We have mostly catch and release ponds/lakes around here, so perhaps we will catch this one again!

Chuck has been on vacation for the last week and a half and fortunately doesn't go back to work until next Wednesday. He went on a guys trip to Vegas last week for 3 nights and brought home more pictures of food than sights, but this is typical as he was with 4 other chefs. We had a great visit at Mel's house last weekend and were excited to have Aunt June, Uncle Donnie and Great Gran down from Altus for a very delicious dinner that Chuck cooked for us. We were also able to see Chuck's cousin, John, and his wife, Mary, who were in town to do some shopping. The boys flew a kite Saturday afternoon. It was a great day for it as it was very windy.
