A Fun Time

Thursday was another fishing day.  Of course, it involved several trips back and forth between the house and the lake since they only had one vehicle to take the boats.  I can say these words now since the weekend is over.  They had another fun day.

Steven “almost” caught a couple of fish, but they got away 😊.  No one else had any luck.

Late that afternoon Kevin brought Tracy, Samantha and one boat home.  Meanwhile, Brian heard that his van was ready to be picked up.  When Kevin went back to get the rest of the gang they stopped and picked up his truck.  After arriving home they grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.  We had beans and chips to go with them.  Renea had backed pecan pie bars and an apple pie.  We spent the evening watching the videos of the past CRAP IDOLS.  Lots of laughter.

Friday was going to be another fishing day, but when they got up in the morning it was raining.  So, they decided to go to Academy and buy ammo so they could shoot their guns in the afternoon.  Kevin has a shooting range set up in the back.  Ryan had made some kind of contraption for them to use.  Stephanie and Ray were bringing clay discs to shoot.  Tracy doesn’t shoot guns but she does bow and arrows and they brought her target for her.

Samantha and Tracy shot the bow and arrows.

Everyone else did guns.   This is Kevin, Brian and Stephanie shooting with Steven throwing.

I just liked this picture.  It is the only one I have with Steven.

They took a break for supper and then were back at it until dark.  After supper Brian built us a campfire.  We really enjoyed that – me especially.  Supper consisted of duck that Ray had shot and fish that had been caught another time.  Since it was Friday and I am not eating meat I did not try the duck.  Neither did Renea.  Renea and Stephanie had leftovers from the night before.  I had a piece of fish.  Renea also fixed hash brown casserole, macaroni and cheese with bacon, jalapeno cornbread, and chocolate cookie cheesecake.  We spent the evening sitting around the campfire talking and laughing.  Brian went to bed early since he was the driver and they were leaving at three o’clock in the morning.

It was a wonderful couple of days.  We really need to do this more often.  It’s a shame we live so far apart, but then maybe that is what makes a visit so special.

They arrived home safe and sound.

NOTE:  Bradley and Brianna did not visit because they couldn't get off work.
