Perfect Weekend

Last weekend we all got together with Ben's side of the family for a mini-reunion. Lynn and Barry rented a house on Lake Palestine and we had an amazing time!

Ella enjoyed all of the loving and cuddling she got, and Avery had a blast with all of the activities and attention she received. There was game-playing, pumpkin-carving, karaoke-singing (Fisher-Price style), s'more-making, and of course, fishing.



After practicing off the patio with Daddy, they tried out the lake to see how the fish were biting. Apparently those poor fish must have been desperate for any chance of a meal they could get. Despite Avery repeatedly slapping the water with her fishing pole, and the constant noise she made, she caught two fish (with the help of Grandpa)! When she reeled her first fish in, she immediately leaned over ...




... and gave it a BIG smooch!!

She was not at all afraid to touch it, hold it, or apparently give it some lovin'!



So excited!

We had such a wonderful weekend. Thank you, Lynn and Barry! And thank you, Jake and Mel, for having a slumber party with Avery!!
