I haven't written in my blog in almost a year. I have had an amazing little girl since then and just haven't put forth the effort to write about anything. I decided that it would be unlikely for me to write all the time, so I will instead try to do a weekly update. On Wednesday, June 30, we headed east to Lake Palestine. Debbie and Paul have a timeshare and there is a property there called The Villages. It is a nice resort. They have an indoor waterpark there. Debbie and Paul had brought all of the grandkids here last summer and had a great time. We got there around 3 on Wednesday and the first thing we did was go to the waterpark. Of course they have a green slide and don't you know we posted up there for the duration of our stay.(Talan's favorite color is green)
After we left the waterpark, we went back to the condo and made tacos and burritos for dinner. On Thursday we headed down to the marina to get day fishing licenses as we were going on a guided fishing tour on Friday morning. While we were at the marina their machine broke. Paul saw that they had pontoon boats for rent, so we rented one and went out on the lake for an hour. Kendall decided to take a nap.
We went back to the waterpark after naps that afternoon.
For dinner we decided to go to Dairy Queen. I had seen a commercial that afternoon for a blizzard and was craving. We got there at around 8:50pm. We didn't get our food until almost 9:30. What happened to fast food? I was so mad. We had Talan and Kendall. Luckily they weren't freaking out. I asked to speak to the manager but that never happened. The girl that delivered the food just said they had gotten busy. Wow, it doesn't even take that long at the restaurant to get food out. Debbie and I decided to fill out comment cards. We will see if we get a response. On Friday, we had to be up at 4:30am for our guided fishing trip. I have never been on one before so I am not really sure what to expect. It was still dark when we met our guide Mike. We took about a 30 minute boat ride to the dam where he said they had gotten some bites the day before. We didn't get anything so we moved spots. Randy caught the first fish, but I caught the biggest. It was a lot of fun when we got to the spot where the fish were all jumping. It was everything we could do for about an hour to cast the reel and pull one in. About 9:30 it started to get warm and the fish weren't biting so we decided to head in. At final count, we caught 35 fish. Mike cleaned and fileted them for us.

It was a fun couple of days. Just far enough to feel like you have gotten away. Thanks to Debbie and Paul for inviting us.
