Every summer the kids and I trek to Veyo for some fun. We've been able to go several times this year, the first trip, we were able to take some friends.
Hayley and her cute little buddy Koryn, swam like fish the whole day. They play so well together, and seem to have limitless energy.

Hunt took a time-out to play with his sis, Emmy. It was not a very warm day, so she did not swim much, due to her excessive shivers. The poor girl has no meat on her to keep her warm.

We were waiting to catch a few of the ray's through the cloud, huddled by the towels. What a cute pair.

There is also the BEST crawdad catching stream ever. Here the kiddies are getting ready to catch them. A hot-dog goes a long way with these little crustacean's and they caught a bucket full. Yuck! Hunt is always trying to talk me into cooking some...uh...no way!

On our way out. These girls are my favorite. They are so fun and happy. It is always fun to spend time with them.

This year we also have the addition of G-Ma Reese, (my mom). We were able to whisk her off with us, and show her our favorite summer haunt.
She took the first picture of the family playing at Veyo. This was also pretty much the only shot of Em in the pool. Poor baby was traumatized, it was so cold the first trip.

I got in the the Crawdad spirit this trip, and caught my first specimen with Hunter. Dang things are sooooo icky. We only had one stick, so I was up close and personal with some hot dog on a fork. Hunt decided he'd had enough when, and I quote, " I'm so embarrassed mom, you scream just like a girl!" So he took off and left me on my own.

The BIG catch...was the size of Hunter's hand. Way to catch Reese!

Since Em decided to boycott swimming, she and grand-ma were posted by the Daddy-craw as she liked to call them. So glad for the live entertainment.

Hunt letting the catches go. Poor buggers, they live to be caught again. Oh well. Circle of life and all.

Thanks to my mom for the super fun day. Though I must tease her, she must be flustered with all my kids around. We got to Veyo, and she had.....

....two different shoes on. I'm glad that she is mine. Love you mom! Can't wait for the next time.

Looks like fun! I have plenty of meat and I still get cold in a cold pool (I am with Em on that one). Did you tell your mom about the time you wore 2 different shoes to work? Fun times!
My dad cooks crawdads. I tasted one once and it wasn't bad, a little like lobster. Looks like a lot of fun!!
