After the helicopter ride, we went down to the fishing pond my grandfather built and stocked with fish. I hadn't been down there before and it is absolutely beautiful. Little John's face when he came around the bend and spotted it was priceless. He got several nibbles on his pole but we couldn't manage to get a fish all the way in with the Cars pole so we had to go for a heftier one. We didn't stay very long since we needed to get home for small group but we're definitely going back soon when we can stay and watch the sun set over that water. A ranch sunrise or sunset will always top my list of beautiful things I love. I'm definitely thinking fishing birthday party in the next few years.
Fishing with Grandpa
Fishing with Dad (how great is this picture?!)
Checking out Caitlin's fish
Carli caught a big catfish
I never seem to have a picture with my beautiful sister-in-law so I thought we would find few better backgrounds than this!
Da with two of his five granddaughters (I think he looks just like Spencer Tracy)

I love these pictures! My family has a farm up in Bowie and that is where we have made many great memories over the years. My uncle, who lives on the land, raises cattle...so he can give us each a side of beef for Christmas; goats...so the kids can chase them around and hold the little ones; donkeys...because someone wanted one; a tractor...to mow and because the kids like to ride on it; a gator...to go to the lake, and because the kids like to ride on it. We go in the summer and pick blackberries and plums. We spend Christmas there, where we go and cut down a tree on the land and decorate it with handmade ornaments. He has a couple of tanks and a lake there-which is fully stocked and doing well this year because of all the rain. We are all going up on Labor Day for a fish fry. I can hardly wait to take Jack up there again. As he gets bigger, he enjoys it more and more. Anyway...it's wonderful to have a special place to go to enjoy the beauty of God's creation. See you on Sunday!
Hugs!
Courtney...Its all so beautiful...and your family is as well. What an incredible gift family is!
So love Yours!
