Spring Break

 There's something about Spring that makes me want to clean. There's also something about Spring that makes me want to travel. During our Spring break, the traveling bug in me won out. We jammed our week off with soooooo much stuff. We started the weekend with E playing in a tournament and P killing his first turkey. That Monday we met up with P's girlfriend and her sister at a local trampoline park, where they wore themselves out playing tag and Dodgeball. Then Tuesday morning we got up, loaded up the truck and headed to Texas. We stayed in a cute lakefront cabin for 3 days, where we were able to unplug and enjoy time as a family. We fished every day, made S'mores, walked on the little beach, caught turtles, used our imagination, saw bald eagles, waited out storms and visited Lake Fork Trophy Lures. The trophy lures store was probably the highlight of the trip. An employee asked us if we wanted to go see where the lures were made. She gave us a tour and went into great detail about how each lure is handmade. Then she told the boys that they could each fill a gallon ziplock bag with all the "reject" lures they want. They had barrels of lures that were simply not fit to sell because the dye was further down on one side or the other. I think the boys heard angels sing as they filled their bags with probably close to $300 worth of soft baits!

We got back Friday and I had just enough time to do some laundry and clean a little before heading to MS for Easter. Sunday morning we enjoyed a nice sunrise service and then went to a later church service before going to Rob's cousin's house for a nice Easter lunch. After we stuffed ourselves with delicious food, the kids enjoyed an egg hunt. 

I don't think we could've humanly fit any more things into our week. We had a blast and I am so glad we chose to travel instead of clean. Ha! Here are some of the pictures from our adventures....
