Fishing Trip 2005

Cade and Matt flew down to meet Chris and go fishing off Pine Island. Here are some pictures Cade took while down there. Enjoy!

No pictures of all three of them--Here's two amigos. 

"They got me!" 

One day's catch 

Matt fell off the boat. Needs to grow his sea legs, I suppose. 

Tarpon! 

Here's a picture of Cade's favorite fishing story: Chris hooked a 125 lb tarpon and they followed it for 15 minutes while it tired out. Then it got to the side of the boat, took off again, and broke the line. I'll put a picture of the shadow in the water that you can barely tell is a tarpon. (I can't tell anything!) 

Matt's catch 

Which one is the catch of the day? 

Matt and Chris trying to get the boat started. Matt's such a big help! 

Some more pics of Matt and Jenna's visit. These are from Jenna's Camera. Here's another one of Mara holding Sophia. 

Here's Mara holding Apollonia in Jenna's baby carrier. (Apollonia is Mara's baby, born Dec. 24, 2004.) 

Fairy Stone 2005

We had a great time at Fairy Stone this year. Mara and Emma went to the water for a while, but it was chilly without the sun shining, so we really didn't stay in the water for long. That meant even more time to hang out with the family. Family reunions are so important to us. It's important to have time to reconnect with what family really means.

Andrew, Naomi, and Mara.  

Aunt Beth and Uncle Steve with Emma 

I just loved this picture of Bethany.  

Too cute not to post. 

GGMa and Popeye talking to Mara. 

Mara and Adam playing together. Adam is LeighAnn's son. He has played so nicely with Mara since she was tiny. She just eats up the attention he give to her.
