Back on Memorial Day Weekend, the entire Ethridege clan met in Coleman at Gunnar's aunt and uncle's for a family reunion of sorts. We were missing a few but most of us were able to make it and a great Texas time commenced!
Second cousins
Lots of dock, swimming, fishing, water, outdoor time!
Oh and boating time!
And mud time...
Kit LOVED all the fish and wanted to touch their eyeballs...
Gunnar won "biggest fish" of the weekend!
It wasn't just super hot and it was really windy all weekend so the water wasn't quite as inviting as we were hoping but the kids all loved it!
Aunt Joan let Monte pick carrots out of her garden and he thought it was the coolest thing ever!!
Second cousins! Minus both girls who were napping...
Grandkids with Mimi
We had a little baby shower for Emily and Kyle.
The guys moved this dock for Todd and Monte got to come along. He was fascinated!
They put it on some big styrofoam pieces and floated it right out to where they wanted. It will be a duck blind come come hunting season.
Testing it out as a fishing spot.
We ate lots of homemade ice cream!
Jake helped several of the kids fish, the perch would bite almost instantly, and the kids LOVED it!! They would cheer for each other each time one of them caught a fish. We were up on shore watching and cracking up at all their antics. I am also still surprised that Jake never got a fish or hook to the face trying to grab them after the kids caught them. Kit was the only kids who actually wanted to hold one. I am so glad Reb caught some of it on video!!
Lots of family hang out time!
Lots of cooking!! and eating!!
A little fried fish, a little mud...
We decided to get family pictures while we had almost everyone together.
Trying to get everyone ready! haha
