After the cake and ice cream, and the gift opening, we took the kids outside for some time in the sun and water. Vicki and Travis had picked up a slip-n-slide and they hooked that up in their backyard, and the kids went to town on it! Dylan and Kaitlyn had so much fun that it was nearly impossible to get them off of it. haha... Here is a link to some photos and videos that I took of them playing.
After the kids finished with the slip-n-slide, Travis took us over to their neighbors pond for some fishing. Kaitlyn wanted to fish with me, so we cast out our first time, and BOOM!, we caught a little perch. Then Kaitlyn, trying to be somewhat adventerous, decided she wanted to touch it, and she did, but that was enough apparently. Because she didn't touch any of the others.
Then, Randi's brother, Brandon, was fishing down the bank from us, and we start hearing some hollaring. Come to find out, a water moccusin started towards the shore. But Brandon used his jig and hooked it, pulled it on shore, and then killed it. Thank goodness becuase I was about to go running to the bed of the truck! haha...
But Kaitlyn and I ended up catching about 6 more. They were all little perch and bass. But we did get one that was about 1 - 1.5 pounds. But the fish were really biting. I think that everyone ended up catching some. Brandon was hauling them in just about one after another.
After the fishing we headed back to Randi's folks and ended the night with some very tasty burgers and hot dogs. Pretty fun time though. And the best part was that the kids were so exhausted that the slept in the next morning until after 9am! That Never happens! They are usually up by like 6 or 6:30 on the weekends. So that was a real bonus for Randi and me.
