We are staying at Todd's father's house who we have not seen in about 4 years it is so nice to visit with them and we are so grateful they are letting us stay in there camper. We have done a lot of fishing off there dock Wes, Todd's nephew came over to fish and we were having a blast not catching anything tho. I decided to try to catch some small fish by the dock I am sitting there just having a good ol' time and all of sudden a HUGE bass comes out from under the dock and snaps my line and scares the $hit out of me!!!! Now Todd and Wes are on a mission to catch the HUGE bass. Trying with worms was not working the fish wanted nothing to do with them so we catch a small speck the moment we put the speck in the water the bass went for it but we did not have a big enough hook so Wes rigged his pole with a hook that he will not get away from. Caught another small fish and this time for sure we will catch him. Sure enough the small fish went in the bass bit and Wes brought him up WOO HOO.... now we must measure a wooping 21 inches a big boy... took pictures and threw him back bye bye...... BIG FISHY... Over the next few days the bass kept biting and we caught him and another big one 18 inches like 4 more times fishing is always fun.
After fishing one night we also played a game called Cards Against Humanity now if you ever get the chance to play this game, you have to. I would not suggest for kids but it is good adult fun. You will laugh so hard that your stomach will hurt you can get a group of people up to 12 to play. Wes had 3 decks of cards and we played through all of them and if we had more we would have played for hours and hours you will loose track of time when playing.
While we are at Todd's dad's house they are putting Todd to work to build a Well Pump Shed nothing to big but something important and since she has the muscle and the knowledge from Todd why not take advantage of it.
Shannon Cooper is one of Todd's best friends that he has had since he was young. We went to dinner with him one night and tomorrow we will go out with him and his wife it will be our first time meeting her and we are excited to finally meet her.
Of course we have visited Wes at his house a few times and just vegging and playing video games is awesome sometime. Til Dawn on PS4 is a pretty awesome game it is like a 90's slasher movie that you have to make decisions in and it determines weather people in the group live or die.... you have to play it to understand what I mean beware it can suck you in for hours at a time :-)
Back to the small town where Todd grew up Lowell, MI to visit his Mom a few times. We lived there for 8 months or so before we moved to FL so it was nice to go back and see what has changed. We went to lunch with his Mom and she has recently bought a new house so we went to the new house to check it out. It is nice and big, some remodeling needs to be done so in March I think we will be back to help her out. Also while we were in Lowell I used to work at the Chrysler dealership there and I went back and Visited my friend Kim. I surprised her she has no clue I was coming and Jerry was there it was nice because everyone remembered me when I only worked there for a short time because we moved. I guess I am one unforgettable person ;-)
other things we have done while we were here was hit the casino a few times and lost but you never go there expecting to win tho. Fished, of course I went to Meijer even if I did not need anything just to go because I love that store. Chilled by the lake all in all this was a great mini vacation and we had a great time but we have to head home early sugar beets called and moved our start date up so we head home this Sunday.
