Our Memorial Day weekend started with a Rays game on Friday night. The Easter Bunny brought Parker tickets this year, so he has been counting down the days for a while now! Bonus - the Rays won!!
Chloe was excited to meet the cheerleaders.
They got to feed the sting rays before the game, so they obviously enjoyed that!
This was the view of the stadium from our seats. The first time a ball came in our stands, Parker looked at Blake and said,"That was scary, Daddy!" We thought he would think it was cool and even brought his mitt. After that, he gave his glove to Daddy.
Saturday was Chloe's day to pick what we did. She wanted to hang out at home, watch movies and play board games. Parker had Hawaii Day at school on Friday and had fruit kabobs. We worked in making some of those for supper.
Sunday was Parker's day to pick what we did. He picked to go fresh water fishing at Lake Tarpon. We didn't exactly kill it... Blake caught a little blue gill and we saw an alligator. It was a gorgeous day to be out on the water though! While we were loading up the kayaks to go, we found this turtle hanging out by our fence. The kids named him Speedy the Third.
Monday was Mommy's choice. We went to the old Skyway Bridge fishing pier for a day of fishing. We left early enough that Chloe needed a sweatshirt for a while! She was the only one - it was like 75 at the "coldest".
Chloe caught us supper for tomorrow night with 2 Spanish Mackerels that were keepers. She was Little Miss Fisherman today!
Best fishing buds - anyone who is around Parker for any amount of time at all will have an appreciation of how many times you can imagine we heard "Daddy..." followed up with a question today. I love it and hope he never stops.
Chloe asked me to take a picture of her in action, so here it is!
Chloe baited her hooks and took off almost all of her fish today. She was all over it today!
I took this picture and couldn't help but think of Blake's words to me not long ago. We were at the beach a week or so ago, and he looked at me and goes, "She's gonna be really pretty, isn't she?" I said, "Yes, she is." He said, "Dang it..."
By the time we got off the pier and were back on the road for not even 2 minutes, this is what we saw in the backseat. A great weekend with two very tired kiddos!
