And more.....

Sorry this has soooo many pictures of one event....but it was priceless

The beautiful Haley again
 

The boat we went on...
  

I LOVE this picture
   

I wish I could tell you this was Taylor and Haley "tossing" our catch on to the dock....but....I would have to say this was Taylor and Haley "chuncking/throwing/slamming" the fish on the dock....it was quite hilarious
   

Bet you would never guess who at the end of the day was STILL scared of the fish
  

The three amigos again....I sure hope there are many more days like this one to come
  

And that this little girl is a friend for life...
     

And to top off the most wonderful day in a long time....Capt Mike cleaned our fish and we took them across the street to J Michael's who cooked them right up for us....I had never been there before....but it was sooo good I can certainly promise you....I will be going back.
  

Some was blacked and some was grilled....but they were equally as good as the other
   

The Best Day...Part Two

Go figure this trip was a little picture intensive for me.....I was soooooo happy and excited for the girls.

At times they were totally in to the fishing and at others....they would rather just run around and play on the boat.  Which was OK with me because I actually got to reel in a few myself.

A HUGE thanks to Capt Mike & Miss Sherri for such an amazing day.

It took Taylor a little while to warm up to even getting this close to the fish....


But it didn't take her long at all to warm up to driving the boat
    

And you had to watch Tori....when no one was looking...she would run off and climb in the captains chair and yes....try to drive the boat....seriously!  She is the cutest captain ever though.
   

And check out this amazingly beautiful face.....this was just a quick shot Haley let me catch...but it sure was a good one...
    

Taylor quickly became a pro at reeling in the fish


And this was my FAVORITE picture all day....maybe, just maybe they could be the three stooges??

The Best Day In a Really Looooooooooong Time

Amazingly enough the little girl (Haley) that Taylor has become best friends with at school....her mommy (Sherri) and I went to school together as well (a long time ago!)

For the last three years they have tried to arrange for us to go fishing with them and finally it all came together this year.  So I left tax season EARLY on a Saturday and headed for the docks.

The two best buds!!



We were paid a nice visit by the dolphins who were looking for some free food.  While they were cute here....they became a little annoying later as they were eating the fish right off the end of our poles as we tried to reel them in.


Haley is pretty much a pro at this since it's what her daddy does for a living.  But she loved helping show Tori how to reel in her first fish...

By The Way...

All who know me...knows what time of year it is!!
IT'S TAX SEASON

So everyone PLEASE forgive me for my lack of posts recently.
I promise to get back on track as soon as it's over!!

And one tid-bit of news...
I ran a 5K on the 26th and actually WON my age group!!
24:40
not too shabby for an OLD married chick!!

CALL ME CRAZY.....I know!!!

The most wonderful sister-in-law in the world....(well one of two!!) sent me a text the other day just wondering if by chance I would be interested in participating in either a duathlon or maybe even a "sprint" triathlon.  So me, loving the challenge...excitedly agreed and committed to taking part in the "sprint" triathlon.  Which will consist of a .35 mile swim in the Gulf a 15 mile bike ride followed by a 3.1 mile run.
