Week at the Lake and Fal





















This past week we went to Lake Mathis and to Fal to visit with family. Our first stop was Mathis where Trey and Kennedy tried their hand at fishing. As you can see in the photos, Kennedy enjoyed playing in the tackle box and finding bobbers to smash into the sand. We also picked up shells and threw them into the water. The water was cold but that didn’t stop Kennedy from wanting to put her feet in. After walking along the shoreline in the water and playing in the sand, it was clear she would need a change of clothes. The fish weren’t biting, but memories were made.












Here she is trying to climb the ladder to get to the pier.


In the morning Kennedy wanted to feed the birds so we walked down to the shore line. Her plate of food for the birds slowly disapperead while she munched on her leftover breakfast. Daddy saved the day with the old bacon bits that we found in the frig.














We also went down to Falfurrias to visit with Honey and Papa and the rest of the Boerjan family. Trey was able to sit out in the deer blind the mornings we were there, but much like the fishing experience no keepers were found. Kennedy filled the birdbaths up with water and drank some of her own from the water hose. We rode around the fields in the gator until the cool front blew in. We then opted to drive the truck around. When we passed the cows and she would moo. We stopped and filled several of the deer feeders up with corn and she enjoyed participate in throwing the corn onto the ground. In the evening, we drove out to Hebbronville to visit with his Uncle Tim/Raydell, Mikayla/Manuel, Ryan, Clay, Zach, and Brian. On our way out to the ranch, a pack of javelinas were on the rode and Trey did an excellent job of cutting through the middle of them in the car at 60mph. However, one poor javelina was sure to have a headache because it hit the tail end of the car. Fortunately, we were safe and arrived to the camp immediately afterwards. Manuel had cooked some ribs that were delicious and Raydell brought over some of her delicious apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate cake. What a nice way to end the night!
