It was Memorial Day Weekend and we had nothing to do
So we grabbed some hot dogs, for fishing of course, and a pole too
To the farm we went with Savannah in anticipation
“I will catch a big one!” she yelled in proclamation
Down on the dock Daddy baited the hook
And we stared at the water with an intense look
After a pull on the pole we reeled him in
Then Savannah shouted “Let’s eat him!” with a mischievous grin
But the thrill didn’t last and tears filled her eyes
“But Daddy, I don’t want to throw him back. I don’t want to say good-bye”
“Oh Savannah, we’ll catch more. And before he leaves you can give him a kiss.”
Then a kiss was given and soon this fish she did not miss
We caught 10 more and to them too freedom was given
But a day like today we’d never give back, ‘cause this is livin’!

YEAH for blogs! I love what you wrote about our weekend. I loved having all the kids there but I have to admit I missed just hanging with the girls so we need to do that again soon. I wonder too if our kids will come close having the friendships we have...I guess we'll see they don't have the advantage of living life together like we all did. I love that I can share more in your family adventures...love you. R
