We recently enjoyed a visit to my parent's house. We haven't been able to go there too often since Bryan started school, and when we are there, it's usually a rush visit. It was really nice to just be able to relax and let the kids enjoy being with their grandparents. Jack and Grandpa dug for worms so we could go fishing, and we went fishing in my Dad's new pond--both Jack and Callie caught a fish everytime they put their cane pole line the water since Dad has stocked it so well! Jack enjoyed helping Grandpa cook breakfast, and Callie helped Gran Gran make cookies. We went to the Tyler Zoo one day, which was fun. My dad actually worked there as a teenager! True story: While he was working there, there was a time when they needed to do something like health maintenance on the crocodiles they had there (3), and they couldn't figure out how to catch them from the pond they resided in. So, my dad offered to SWIM OUT THERE AND WRESTLE THEM ONE AT A TIME TO THE BANK for a little extra pay...he got out to the middle of the pond, and all 3 crocodile heads disappeared slowly under the water...my Dad decided he had made a poor decision and headed for the shore! Truely, although it's hard to believe after that story, my Dad is an intelligent man! He blames it on his "young, immature ways" at the time! We also helped Dad celebrate his 69th birthday...he doesn't look a day over 55 to me!
