Matagorda Bay for Labor Day

For Labor Day weekend my family and I rented Chance's fraternity brother's house. The same one we stayed at for Fourth of July. We all drove down Friday, went to the grocery store, etc. and got settled in.

Here are a few pics of the house again:

The guys went straight to the dock to start fishing! We couldn't keep them off it. One night they stayed up until 6am fishing. Crazy boys!















Caught the first fishy!

Sweet family :)















Lots of jelly fishes!




















Kyler wanted to fish!




















He caught one! A mini baby catfish




















Sisters :)

















Stacey, Mom and Mandy
















The next morning we were all out on the patio and it just started pouring. You can't tell in this picture because it looks like night time, but it's actually morning.




















10 minutes later and it was all cleared up and we had a beautiful day ahead of us.
So I thought what better way to start my day, than with a bloody mary!




















After breakfast we headed to the beach....the boys weren't that thrilled with the sand (muddy) and the water (brown) but that's what you get here on the shores of Texas! In fact, when we pulled up Kyler said "Umm..I think we are at the wrong place. This doesn't look like the beach I imagined!"






















Jax and Chance love each other!





















Mom and Nate playing in the water




















Back at the house

















Next door to the house is a seafood restaurant and they take their slop (all the extras and what not) across the river for the hogs. The birds go crazy!




















And then come the piggies!














My sisters are going to kill me for posting this one, but I thought it was cute. Yes, we just woke up!














Ethan was pretending to eat the fish and it flipped all around and went crazy and the look of fear on his face was absolutely priceless! Funniest thing ever!







Yummy























Sending the guys off to catch some fish! My dad brought our boat all the way from Dallas!


























Shrimp for dinner!














Chance caught a ribbon fish, it looks like a shiny eel.














Check out these gross teeth!














Feeding the birds
 
Celebrating dad's birthday!



Happy Birthday Dad and Happy Labor Day everyone! Hope everyone had a safe and happy long weekend!
