Fishing and Visitors











Jeremy and I gave fishing a try this past weekend. Granted, we only went to a reservoir close by so we haven't hit the true mountain streams yet. That may be this weekend's adventure. Anyway, the photo above is representative of the success we had.......or lack there of. It was fun through.








We also had visitors again. It's a good thing we bought a house with extra bedrooms because they have been used multiple times this summer. I think this was our 5th set of house guests. We could almost run a bed and breakfast at this rate. Anyway, my cousin Amy and her 3 kids, Trey, Megan and Claire stopped for a night while driving from Sedona, AZ to Greenfield, IA to visit her dad (and my uncle) Ted. We went to the indoor "kiddie" swimming pool, complete with a hot tub, climbing thing, lazy river, and come rope/log contraption. After feeding the kids it was off to bed. Trey was delighted with all the He-Man Toys that were Jeremy's growing up. He thought they were the coolest thing ever (hence the photo above) and all the kids were fascinated by the basement. Living in AZ this was the first basement they had seen. So to be "underground" to them was great! Jeremy missed the visit since he was in Panama on work. So Amy is yet to meet him which means we'll have to meet up again.

The last photo is of Amy. I made sure I had a bottle of wine chilling for her arrival. Traveling across country with 3 little kids would drive one to request a glass of something. Nothing like pizza and wine......I'm sure they go together somewhere.


We'll post again next week.
