Port O'Connor

What a weekend we had!  We had the opportunity to get away for the weekend with my Sis Mendy and Bro-in-law Chris in Port O'Connor, TX for some Bay fishing.  This was the first time in 4 years we had been able to all go together.  So, as much as I hated leaving my babies behind, we were blessed with time with Mendy/Chris, sleep, relaxation, watching sunrise/sunsets, and some good food.  THANK YOU to Gamee/Grampee again for loving on our babies so that we could get away!  It has been a long time since I have laughed this hard and had no worries.  No worries of what laundry needed to be done, getting kids in bed, planning meals, locating froggy, and keeping everyone happy.  Just the four of us.  It was so nice.  Since the weather decided to be cold and WINDY, it wasn't the best conditions (a cold front came through which meant it felt like we were on "the Deadliest Catch" with huge swells & 30 mph winds).  By the time we got to our fishing spot, we were pretty much drenched on the outside (thank goodness we bought rain suits!) and freezing cold.  But nonetheless, that didn't stop the good fishing from happening!  Here is a run down of everyone's loot that was worth mentioning.  The best part of the trip was taking in our fresh catches Saturday night and getting it cooked up for us!  We also had enough fish to bring home and share!  It was a great trip and we are so blessed for all the memories.
