Family time

Island life is heavenly.  We had family time at my parents with both my kids and the grandkids camping out in their front yard.  Of course the promised sun did not make an appearance until today when my daughter and family left.  Life cannot stop because of the weather!  We had campfires and some-mores.  Set up tents and still had the benefits of showers and a kitchen.  It's a fun way to spend time with my parents.

Today, we went fishing at a private pond.  The owner dug it out himself and allows a club to host a kids fishing derby which gets stocked by the state.  My parents are alway welcome so we took the girls on their first fishing trip.  They had so much fun.  J (7yrs) caught and released 5 fish, V (3 1/2 yrs) caught 3.  My dad patiently helped J and helped her learn to cast, also.  This is the best place, I listened to the trees rustling and the muted shouts of little girls,watched a bald eagle and turtles jumping of rocks into the water.  Heaven!!

Also did the sneak on a mama deer and her single baby (her twins are still around from last year) with my daughter and 2 granddaughters.  They were amazing! quiet and not fidgety.  We stood a good 15 minutes when a noise from some else had them walking away.  Such beautiful creatures and amazing that the girls love to quietly watch them.
