Happy 4th of July (a little late...)

Our day off together... What to do, what to do...Dan started his day nice and early (he left our house by 5:30 AM) to meet up with my dad and his friend Dan to go fishing. Me... I slept in until 9 AM, which is VERY good for me. I woke up, caught up on a little TV, ate a little breakfast, and went to lie down back in bed, until I got a great idea!
Dan was going to be fishing alone at about 10 AM when the other guys went home to be with their family, so I called Dan and asked him if he wanted me for a fishing buddy.
Expecting an "I'm ok, I'll just be out a little longer," he said "That would be great, when can you be here?" I was SO excited! I made it out to the little lake house and climbed on the boat and enjoyed 2 hours of relaxing in the sun, fishing my little heart out-all without touching a worm or a fish. I caught at least 7-8 fish, all of them were too little to keep though. As you can see, Dan caught the big fish of the day- 26 inch Northern (the other Dan caught a 25 inch, but apparently they have to be 26 inches to keep.) They also caught some little perch and blue gill. We enjoyed our fish for a memorable 4th of July feast!
I guess we were anti festive and did not attend a parade, but we did watch the fireworks at a friends house. It was a wonderful, relaxing day. I love holidays.

You two are such a cute couple, I'm excited when you have new posts! You look great too Maralee. My mom's in the Joseph pageant with Kara right now for the next 2 weeks, it's sad/weird to think about what we could be doing at the end of the month :( . . . but life goes on.

Maralee! What a good wife to go fishing with your husband. You are so gorgeous and your eyebrows are perfect. Random observation I know.
