Everyone enjoyed the show and the whole lake cheered at the end!

We decided last minute to travel to Granbury to pick up Cambry and Cutter from visiting my parents. They were there for 10 days and had a blast. They went to Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor, numerous fishing trips, boat rides, and endless swims at the lake. We were greeted by two very tanned, tired, and happy kids.

We spent the weekend just hanging out at the lake. It was really relaxing and just what we all needed. The fireworks were unbelievable. We took the boat out and anchored in the middle of the lake with hundreds of other boats. It was really awesome. The fireworks shoot out over the lake and were right above our heads. Let's just say that a regular fireworks show will pale in comparison for us after this unbelievable display. I did not get good pictures...but I got some great video.

I doubt very seriously that we will ever waste money on taking Cutter to Disneyland. I think Mickey would hold a dim candle to fishing with his Dad and his Papaw. It is all he talks about. Obsession is not a strong enough word for how this little guy feels about fishing in general. He is the only 6 year old that I know of that asked for Rowland Martin fishing DVDs for Christmas and has watched all three of them at least 10 times. He has a gigantic tackle box, his own "real" fishing pole, and his own fishing tales too! He loves to talk about how long they were....how much they weighed....how many he caught and...on and on and on! The funny thing is - he does seem to have a knack for fishing and seems to catch them when no one else is. We have nicknamed him the "Fish Charmer".

Cambry had a great time too and did lots of fun girly things with Nana. She went shopping, had a pedicure, baked homemade pies, fished, and helped Nana set up a blog.
The sad truth is that is VERY boring to come home to our regular life after a visit to Granbury.

Thank You again Nana and Papaw for treating us to such a wonderful and unforgettable weekend. We love you both sooooo much!
