A Weekend To Remember

My weekend with Liam, Jessi & Trevor (Jessi's boyfriend and a really great guy) was great fun making awesome memories and way too short!  Here are some pictures that capture our good times.  I didn't post on Sat and Sun because I wanted to spend every possible moment with them...I'm glad to be back and sharing again.

The first thing Liam did when he woke up Saturday morning was to write out his alphabet on a little sticky note...every now and then he'd recite the alphabet out loud to figure out what was coming next...he kept this little sticky note with him the entire weekend and by the time they were heading home it was a worn little folded square still in his possession...

He and I took a walk together and came across this huge limb that had fallen from a tree...he said "I can pick this up"...this is his attempt...look at that face!

He snuggled with his dog Stitch for a while...

 ...and helped me make these blueberry tarts using blueberries from our bushes at the cabin...

 ...we had a little of the blueberry mixture left over, so he snacked on some...I have to admit he preferred it in the puff pastry rather than in a bowl...alone the mixture was a little tart, being only blueberries, a little sugar and a little ground tapioca...

Fishing was the theme of the weekend...this is Liam reeling in the first catch of the day with coach Trevor... 

 ...he was quite pleased with himself!

 As the day went on, he was frustrated with not catching more...

 ...Trevor reminded him that you have to be patient, and sure enough, he caught another catfish!

...everything we caught was released (too small to keep or not edible)...

...Liam wanted to pet every one before they went back into the river!

 They were all this big!!!

Sunday was a relaxed morning...Liam and Trevor are best buds and a good pair!

We took Stitch for a walk along the river...

...and then there was swimming and more fishing!

 

Trevor had to help one of the fish we put back into the river when it was struggling...he just pushed it along until it went back down to the sandy bottom, swimming on its own!  Trevor saved the fish!

 

 No words necessary here...

We caught a blue crab, we tried to keep it (really good eating) but it moved so quickly it was back in the river before we could get a good hold on it...

...along with all the catfish, Liam caught a puffer fish...

...and a couple grunts...

Family time is precious to me and this weekend created awesome times and good memories forever!
