25 Days of Thankful! Family

25 Days of Thankful!

Days 21 & 22: November 21 -22, 2010

I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for the past 3 days! It was so wonderful to spend time with my family in such a relaxing setting. There were no computer {my iPhone had hit or miss service and helped me stay sane}, no cars, no responsibilities and no distractions!

Our friend took great care of us! The food was incredible, the tour of the island was breathtaking and the boating and fishing was something we had never experienced before. With that being said I must add Julio to my thankful list!

Spending time with the love of my life is always something I'm thankful for!

and of course time with my girls is treasured as it seems to be slipping through my fingers!

I am thankful for bonfires

and smores!

For seeing nature up close and personal

and seeing my girls hold it in their hands. Peanut pulled in this 3.5 pound, 24" trout with minimal help!

Honey's trout was a little smaller and made for a perfect dinner for the pelican that was waiting patiently nearby soon after he was released!

For Peanuts determination to finish the job

And Honey's ability to relax and laugh with her family even though its no longer cool to be with us. "Snookie caught a Snook!" {all together the girls caught and released 2 ladyfish, 1 bluefish, 2 catfish, 2 trout and 1 snook all in under 3 hours!}

I'm thankful for the privilege to sit back and watch my girls have fun together

{they did not fight all weekend!}

and for seeing moments like this, proof that they really do love one another!

I was also extremely thankful for my bladder that stayed strong when Julio caught this shark with his casting net and brought on board!

And for the beautiful sunsets that God made just for us!

Be Thankful!
