Patti & Dave at the Cut

Patti & I with Raz our puppy, enjoyed today going down to the Land Cut. It was a very beautiful day but windy. Fishing was slow at first until we found the spot. We pulled in these nice Speckled Sea Trout the last hour an half before coming home. Really enjoyed a nice day together!

Lake Corpus Christi

Easter weekend we went to Lake Corpus Christi for our ward camp out. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Friday night (March 21st) everyone stayed up late while the youth hung out in different tents telling stories. Caylah & I got to bed about 12:30am Saturday morning. About 2:00am Caylah wakes me up in a very worried voice that she hears something in our camp munching on something. I think its a javelina outside. She said, "Dad... Don't go to sleep you might SNORE had bring the Pig over to our tent". (In other words my snoring sounded like a PIG). Anyway... I looked out the window of tent and saw a big Javelina eating some marshmallows out of bag. Then the Pig went over to bench and started in on the Fritos. That's where I drew the line. I got out of tent and scared him off. I wished I'd caught that on tape.

Johnny Finns, Lake Travis, TX

Patti, Caylah & I enjoying a dinner on the dock of "Johnny Finns" at Lake Travis in Austin, Texas. After dinner we just enjoyed the sunset while feeding the fish & ducks. The Catfish were huge and fun to feed.

The Big Match Up

The time has come for The Big Match Up! Cake and here team mates are getting ready to swim in the 100 meter Free Style Relay. Cake is up first in lane 5.

As she dives into the water making every stroke count... She's shaking then she's baking slicing through the water like a graceful dolphin have fun while competing. Shake a Bake a Cake all the way to tag her teammate.

YES! YES! YES! They slam home with a 2nd place finish! That was awesome. They were swimmin like no tomorrow. Once again the warm-up makes a big difference.

The Warm Up

Here it is Saturday Morning in a middle school key swimmin meet. Cake (Caylah) was recruited by Coach Bob of the Flour Bluff Hornets because she shows a great developing talent. Cake has been preparing to get deeply focused and concentrate on achieving her goals and objectives; To beat the other kids in a strategic mid year swim off! I've uploaded a clip so that you can see just what it takes to get ready before a swim meet. (Please don't share this with other swimmers... we don't want them to learn Cakes technique.)

Another interesting note that shouldn't be overlooked in a warm-up. Notice the Large pull over sweat shirt with a hoodie. Thanks to Uncle Steve & Aunt Susan Cake is READY with great equipment to maximize her results at the swimmin meet!

Sandy Day

Last weekend we had a few hours on the Beach! Caylah (Cake). As you can see we covered up Cake and had some fun on the beach.
