Moving on from a less than stellar tournament....on to another mini-vacation.
We are now in Paris, TN. Brent wanted to spend some time practicing for the upcoming Kentucky Lake tournament and take Mason out fishing. Mimi and Papa drove down to meet us for the week and the kids are lovin' it. They missed them so much and we are so glad they took the time to come visit.
No trips to the urgent care last week!!! I was so relieved. Mason's asthma is doing OK and his allergies are mostly under control... They should be....He is on a million meds.
They played with Laker, Oakley, Jordon and Spencer all week. We really had a great time (except for the no paycheck thing.)
Mason finally lost that trouble-making tooth. He looks so adorable with that giant gap in the front of his mouth.
Now we are enjoying some family time. Brent, Mason and Papa went fishing all day. Mason was so excited. He caught his first striper and plenty of bass. How cool to picture Mason fishing out on the lake with his daddy and Papa. Great male bonding and Mason will remember these days. Makayla, Mimi and me went shopping and touring Paris (it's just fun to say.) We grilled out tonight and enjoyed smore's from the campfire. It's so great to be counting calories and making smore's 2-3 days a week.
We timed it just right. It seems that the biggest fish fry in the country takes place in Paris this week. They have a huge carnival with a three day fish fry and even shut down all the schools for the parade on Friday. (I'm kinda having a 'Joe Dirt' flashback.)
This is one of the great things about traveling the country in a camper. We run into these out-of-the-way places with interesting stories. Most people would never intentionally schedule a vacation to these small towns; but it is so great to experience real America!!!!
OK!!! Lot's of Gem Quotes in the past few days. Many are from today. I may just be slap happy---but I was cracking up with some of these quotes.
"Dogs can't get married. They can't pick out rings." Oakley
"No mom, Laker's in charge'" Mason (I was trying to convince him that MOMMY is in charge.)
"I love you 300+300+300,'" Makayla
"I'm trying to give him a wedgie!!" Makayla
"My tooth keeps getting stuck sideways," Mason
"Welcome to the Makayla show," Makayla
"Can we put the 2 liter bottle in the fire and watch it melt?" MIMI
"Put another piece of steak on my toes," Mason and Makayla
"Her privates or my privates??" Mimi (probably had to be here for this to be funny..but it is.)
