Gone Fishing...

Little Man and Vim have taken up a new hobby a couple nights a week. We have a neighborhood pond almost directly across from our house that they love to go over to for about 30-45 mins each night and catch fish. They use hot dogs, biscuits, bread, etc. as bait. Now we fish quite a bit down at our river house and little man had caught fish before but always with some assistance. But the other night little man caught his first fish all by himself, no assistance needed! He casted, hooked, and reeled in his own fish! Vim was sure to explain to little man that if you hold the fish way out it looks bigger in the picture! (it actually was a pretty good size catfish)

He said this was a 'Daddy Catfish'

T - R - U - DAWG

William loves this song on Toby Mac's CD. Its Toby Mac's son, Truett rapping. So on our way to the Frio I caught him jamming out to it. And the snorkeling mask is just an added bonus!

Hard working men...

My boys planted flowers yesterday in our front yard. I was not blessed with a 'green thumb' and this is our 3rd or 4th try at planting flowers. We are trying a new technique this time...we planted all the flowers close together so maybe this time they will live longer. I also bought some Miracle Grow, so we are hoping for a Miracle! But as of right now, they look great!

Part 2: 4th of July

Although we love our dog Fletcher, he tends to be a more 'sophisticated' dog, so we were not sure how he would handle camping with no AC for 4 days straight, swimming in the river and being around all the other dogs. I have to say though, that he was a trooper and did great. It took him awhile to 'warm' up to the river. At first he would just put his toes in and then he would get in up to his knees...finally, after watching the other dogs swim around he managed to gain the courage and cross the river on the 2nd day. He still had his 'sophisticated' moments but overall he did great. He had so much fun he has slept for the last 2 days straight...(he made himself comfortable on his own sunning chair)

(he is asleep on Vim's knee)

Happy 4th of July!

Every year some very dear, close friends of the Head Family invite all of the Heads down to their property on the Frio River for the 4th of July. The amount of fun and craziness that goes on down there is indescribable. I mean, these people celebrate the 4th like some people celebrate Christmas...its a 4 day event, and it is done right. Here are some pictures to give you a glimpse into the madness of the festivities.
