Vacation Part 2

Arkansas

This is my Aunt Imogene with Alissa.













This is my Aunt Brenda and my cousin Alissa at Batesville River walk where we went for a picnic.










Arkansas is....

Spending time with family and friends.

Cooking that seems more difficult to produce at home.

Time to sit back and relax and enjoy life.

Visiting family cemeteries and trying to absorb more family history.

Watermelons that don't taste the same anywhere else.

Fishing.


Aaron's Fish that Started it All















Tryn learning on a fly fish reel

So Grandma, Dad, Brenda, Aaron, Tryn, Emily and I went fishing. Grandma watched and the rest of us fished. See that fish Aaron has? It helped start a ruckus. Aaron went to put the fish on the stringer to be part of that nights dinner and after it was on the stringer, and before he had the stringer secured back to the bank the fish jumped and tried to take off...well more than tried. The stringer pullled out of Aarons hand and about 10 fish were gone. Aaron stood there stunned for a moment and then went after them to no avail.

We caught more fish - including some that had been on the stringer..and had a great dinner of fish, cornbread and shelly beans.
