Deep Sea Fishing


We started our morning off at 3:15am, were out the door at 4:15am and hitting the water at 5:15am. We boarded the Fin Galley with Captain Craig, and witnessed a beautiful sunrise as we headed 50 miles off shore. After about 1 hour and 45mins we arrived at our fishing destination. We baited our hooks and within 20 seconds had our first fish on the line!!! For the next 45mins it was a fish frenzy, pulling in Dolphin fish left and right. JJ immediately snagged an enormous bull dolphin fish, but it took him a while to real it in. Not long after pulling in the bull he hooked another huge cow (this is what the first mate Tom called them). After pulling in 60 dolphin fish, we had reached our limit and had to move on to catching something else. About 1 hour later we hooked a Sailfish and I got in the fightin chair to reel it in, so much FUN!! The rest of the day we caught a few more dolphin fish here and there but had to throw them back. All in all it was a GREAT day!

Only the Beginning

We started our trip to the Outer Banks on Friday, staying the night in Raleigh with JJ and Teran and heading to the beach on saturday. Zac drove while me and mom battled it out in scrabble on her new ipad. I have to say having that kind of distraction made the trip go by SO much faster, Zac however thought the trip took forever.
Lets get this car rollin!

A battle of the mind...who's gonna win

Of course we stopped at Chick-fil-a

A quick stop at the fruit stand to see Vic and Todd

Can you tell we were a little giddy about the beach?

SPLASH COUNTRY

Went to Splash Country with Levi and Cora last Friday...SO MUCH FUN! I haven't been to a water park in years and I forgot how much fun it was. Waiting in line is not my favorite thing but lucky for us the lines were not so bad. The kids were just big enough to ride some of the bigger rides this year so they really had a blast. They didn't want to leave, but they were both asleep before we even pulled out of the parking lot.
I think he might be excited...
Waiting on Nana...COME ON NANA!
