A quick trip to the beach!
We decided last week to go and visit my parents again! Which
means getting a small vacation out of it too!
I wish all of the time that my parents would move back and me
and Matt would have help with the kiddos but then again, it is
nice having somewhere to go for a quick weekend! My parents
are so wonderful too. They help us out so much and even told
us to go out and made us go fishing one day!
Me and Matt use to fish ALL.THE.TIME. Before babies we went to
the beach often and would go deep sea fishing every single
time. We live on the lake and love to bass fish too. We just
love being out in the sun, spending time together and wetting
a line! We always have. Matt has been a good bit since the
having babies but I haven’t been since before we were married.
I was so excited! We were going to go on Sunday but Saturday
turned out to be so beautiful the Captain called us and told
us to come on! We laid all the kids down for their naps and
headed towards the Marina. We had so much fun and lucked out
with a great captain! We caught a few type of fish including
Amber Jack and Rudderfish! If you go to the Panama city area
and want to go fishing call Captain Todd! Click here for his
website!
We caught a ton but only kept four! I am not one who eats fish
or even like it but I did try this and it was DELICIOUS!
After a little while of catching them left and right, some
dolphins showed up and scared all of the fish away! I caught
one and the dolphins came straight up to the boat. The captain
let it go and the fish swam under the boat and the dolphins
just stared at the bottom of the boat watching him! It was
crazy to see them act like that and to see them so close!
I guess we were making a lot of noise because a huge bull
shark came up to see what was going on! The Captain said it
was probably around 500 lbs. It was huge! I don’t know if you
know this but I am so fascinated with sharks. I love them for
some odd reason. My husband thinks I am a little crazy. The
captain saw how excited I got and asked “you want to try and
catch him?” I kindly replied with a “HELL YES!” We had
everything ready to try and catch him but he never showed up
again. We continued to another spot and caught even more fish!
I caught the biggest Amber Jack which was 29 inches long and I
my whole body was weak after that fight! They fight so hard
but it is so much fun!
We took the twins bowling one day while Madelynn napped! Ive
been wanting to take them just to see how they do and they
loved it! JP even carried his own balls up to the drop!
Jocelynn got a bit tired and cranky but overall it was a great
outing!
We got back and little miss Maddie was awake and ready to
play! She loved the wind for some reason! She would laugh so
hard every time it would start blowing!
Oh how I love my mommas cooking! There is nothing like going
“home” and getting a good home cooked meal by your mommy! Am I
right? She cooked some Barbecue shrimp one night and it was
heavenly!!
After the kids went to bed on Saturday night, my mom and dad
told us to go out and have fun! Well, okay then! You don’t
have to beg me to get a date night with my husband! We went to
a place called Tootsies at Pier park! They have great country
music and everyone dances! It was so much fun! We met some new
friends and had a ball! Thank you mom and dad for letting us
go out and spend some much needed time together!
Matt goes back to work next week so this was a great weekend
for us to have before everything turns back to our normal!
