Pickin' and Paddlin'

Emily, Jerica, Jeremiah, Jamicia and I went out to the pickin' and paddlin' festival last Saturday. Despite the cold weather we had a great time. The kids loved the climbing wall and we liked the bluegrass music. My friend Austin and I entered the canoe race and lost horribly.

We've been working to get our youth garden started again this year.




On St. Patricks day Emily took some of the girls downtown to the annual parade. (Peaches)

I finally was able to hook and catch a large mouth bass even though it was pretty small. I had a blast Saturday morning fishing with friends Eric and Dylan at Roosevelt state park. We each caught several fish but no keepers. Eli (Dylans dog) enjoyed licking the fish before we threw them back.


Yesterday Emily and went and visited this amazing swamp just north of Jackson. We saw several small snakes and even a gator!
