Family Friday ~ Family Fishing Trip

Dan loves to fish. He had not been for over a year, so last Sunday we and our family across the street hit lake Proctor for some fishing fun. Lynette had never actually caught a fish, so this was great for her. Ashley is never much into fishing, but our little water baby stayed in the lake all day long! We all had a really great time. Check out these great videos and pics. It was such a great day!







Dan says that fishing is the best stress relievers there is. Plus, it is frugal family fun. The best part? If all goes well, you come home with dinner!


Does your family enjoy fishing? I'd love to hear from you! And for more family friday fun, click the button above to head over to Homemaker Barbi's weekly feature!

Cool Drinks for a Hot Day

It sure is a hot one today. Dan is out smoking a brisket and I have no idea how he is dealing with the heat. I am trying really hard to keep pushing water down all of us, but unfortunately water is no one's drink of choice around here and iced tea is much preferred. One thing I do to make it a bit more appealing is to make up a pitcher of our favorite Crystal Light or other drink mix, then freeze it into ice cubes. A couple of these fruity cubes make water taste a whole lot better. I've also been known to freeze small pieces of fruit like peach bits, pineapple, lemon, etc. into regular ice cubes then add to water for a bit of a treat. All I know is that anything cool is welcome on a day like today!

Hope you are all keeping cool and having a great Father's Day
