Crabs For Gabe

Summer is going to be here very soon.  That's a very special time for Rog and Gabe. 

Fishing and crabbing at the Point has become a "thing" for the two of them.

Rog was more upset about the start of school last year than Gabe was.

It was like he lost his best friend.  He hunts with his dad and

fishes and crabs with his grandfather.  What a wonderful way for

 a little boy to grow up.

Just Me and Them

The boys were fascinated with my old tripod and remote.  Each wanted to
take a picture using the remote but the catch was they wanted me
in the picture with them.  I'm not in very many (for a good reason) I couldnt
tell them no.   Then Rog showed up and that was the end of that.

Annual St. Dizier Good Friday Crawfish Boil

Gabe and Alex tormenting the crawfish

It took Eli a few minutes to get these critters to cooperate with him

I think the crawfish win this battle with Alex

First Swim of the Summer

Eli talked Alex into jumping into the pool behind him.   It was so cute to 

watch them holding hands and counting down the jump. 

The well planned leap.

Alex tried to change his mind but Eli would have none of that.  Eli hung onto Alex for

dear life and went off the board with Alex in tow.

 Eli went in feet first and Alex went in---well you can see how he broke the water's surface.

Both came up sputtering and laughing. 

FYI:  The wind was blowing and the water was freezing.  These little boys are made

of steel.  They walked to the water's edge and jump in.  Never once did either

one of them mention being cold even though they were turning purple.

Their Own Little Piece of Ground

                      Alex and Eli helped me dig up bulbs from this bed last week.  

They confiscated the bed to do some digging of their own. 

Alex told me he was going to be planting corn and tomatoes. 

Hope they share.

New Boots

The Easter Bunny brought an early Easter present to Alex and Eli.

They were so excited about their boots.  Supposedly, they can

only wear them on special occasions and to church.  Let's see

how long that lasts................
