Memorial Day Weekend

We took advantage of the long weekend and headed to the lake house.  Our friends Matt and Danne' drove from Austin to enjoy a little R & R with us but some how I managed not to get a single picture of them!  We told Chase where we were going as were getting the truck loaded up Friday so he grabbed an armload of matchbox cars, a train and his new bass boat daddy brought him home from Las Vegas last week and told me "let's go!".  He loves every minute at the lake house, especially if he is outside.  As you can see from the pictures below there is always something to keep him busy.  At the age of two he already shares his daddy's love of fishing.  He got to try out his fishing pole the Easter Bunny brought him, daddy would cast it out and he would reel it back in saying "here fishy, fishy".  Chris has been setting out lines to catch catfish and Chase is right by his side as he cleans them.  My favorite was when Chris used the cast net to catch shad for bait and Chase helped pick up the live little fish and put them in the bucket without a hint of fear.  This all makes Chris one happy daddy! 

We loved spending time with family and friends this weekend.  The weather was perfect other than the wind which made it impossible to go out on the lake in the boats.  Thankfully we have plenty more summer weekends to make up for it.

Love this silly face!

The water was a bit chilly but he had a blast splashing around

This picture makes me smile.  Chris and Mini Chris- they have the same expressions!

Ready to fish!

Danne' made Chase a cape- I think this might be a new favorite way to carry his blanket
