Every now and then, Chuck and I are able to get away...
to canoe by ourselves for a bit.
Both with the 7 year old babe, and without, are fun in their own way.
One way is more peaceful and has less flailing limbs.
This is the Gwynn's Island Bridge.
It connects us to the mainland.
It's a drawbridge!
Occasionally, when driving, we have to sit and wait for a bit while the bridge swings wide and allows boats to pass under. Waiting was only really annoying once, and that was when the bridge was broken and we were stuck on the island for several hours, before a highly anticipated trip back home to Alabama. But mostly we don't mind waiting; it's still kinda fun.
As freshwater folks, we learned pretty quickly, when in saltwater, you don't swim near the piers.
Those barnacles will cut you like a knife.
There are a constant flow of fisherman under and around the bridge,
so of course Chuck had to get in on it too.
And he does alright...
It's a Red Fish.
When the size calls for it, Chuck measures them out.
And this one might have been a keeper...
but it was determined not to be.
Some fish are like prehistoric creatures...
And Chuck squeals and pretends to be scared to take them off the hook.
I mean, what IS this fish?
The old man has to stretch his back out sometimes.
You know he is 35 now...
the big man just had a birthday.
And in closing, I would like to ask...
How is it that something so feminine (like cultivating a baby)...
can look so unladylike?
You try to sit like a lady, in a canoe, with a belly full of baby.

Love the pictures, this looks so peaceful. And for the record, no matter if you are cultivating a baby or not, you are always beautiful and lady like.
ReplyDeleteYou are a mess and a half!! Love the beautiful photos and the love in this small but growing family.
ReplyDeleteI think you look very ladylike there, sister. Real pretty. I like your hair color a lot. We almost have the same exact color right now. Glad Chuck gets to catch prehistoric lookin' fish in them thar waters. I'm pretty sure all your moves are largely dictated by Chuck's outdoor opportunities.
