Memorial Weekend

I have been away from the family blog long enough to forgot my camera just about every where we go. We had a fun Memorial Weekend, but due to my camera sitting on my desk the entire time, I do not have many pictures to pass along.


Saturday, we had a pool party at a friends house, who live down the road from us. The boys had a blast and Carter swam the entire day. He was a red, wrinkled prune by the end, and he literally swam until we left the party.

Sunday, we did a little fishing with the boys. Lake Como was busy with pantoons, fishing boats, tubing, and swimming. The docks were too full, with swimmers and boaters to do any good fishing. We took the boys to a pond that is kid-friendly. Ironically, this pond is right next to the condo we recently moved from. We headed back to our previous "home" and took the boys to the pond that we used to go for walks around.

Boys are so anxious to get fishing, they did not wait for mom & dad.....
This pond is planted with fish for the little ones to catch. I could not tell you what type of fish is in the pond, but a family next to us pulled out some nice ones.

Oh, yes, and the excitement for Carter was that he ended up getting a leech on his foot!! He loved it; I hated it!

Carter caught the first fish. Yes, if you look closely, there is a fish on his pole! :-)

Carter is ready to throw the fish back in.....

Not sure what Bradley is ready to do ?!?!?

Bradley was telling me about this fishing device, that if a fish swallows your hook, you use this nifty device to get it out. I had to take a picture because it was so hot that Bradley's little face was all rosey-red.

Carter was in the Memorial Day parade with the Cub Scouts on Monday. It was a little rainy, on & off, so we headed to Kenosha and did some furniture shopping. It was beautiful weather for Memorial weekend.
