Keeping Up With the Jones': Spring Break 2011

Heading out Friday morning

For Spring Break this year, we decided to rent a trailer at Lake Waurika and go fishing! Bob and Barbara decided they wanted to come, too. We have been trying to get them to go with us for a while now, but they never had. I told Bob, once I made the reservation, he could not back out!!

Auzlyn

We got up and left on Thursday morning..Robby and Bob in the pickup pulling the boat...Barbara the girls and myself in the Expedition. Robby was driving to slow for me, so we passed them and went on in to Wichita Falls to stop by Academy and pick up a few things we needed and forgot at home...like chairs. They beat us to Waurika..but not by much..and they already have the trailer key. We go get everything unloaded and eat a sandwich..and then we unload the boat!!!

Barbara does not swim...does not like the water...in fact, she gets a little woozy just watching the water move...but she was bound and determined to get on the boat!! and she did!! Every time we went out, she was on it!!

I get home, and realize the only picture I have of Barbara is the back of her head!!

Haley cheesin'

Bob with his little Crappie

Needless to say, we didn't really catch any fish. Bob caught the first little crappie on Friday...not long after that, Haley had one on her hook, about the time it was at the side of the boat..it came off. Auzlyn caught a little crappie in the crappie house. On Saturday, Bob caught a little catfish. That was the extent of our actual catching of the fish. But we had fun!! Oh yeah, Robby was trying to get a snake away from the boat and almost flung it in...He had a not happy wife, mother and daughters at him...but the snake didn't get in the boat.

Robby...just waiting

Saturday night...instead of eating fish we caught..We went to Bill's Fish House! That was the BEST fish I have ever eaten!!! (besides our fresh fish) It is only about 30 minutes from Wichita Falls, just north of the Red River...so if you want some good home cooked fried catfish..go to Bill's!! and only order the half order because you will be taking half of the full order home!! It is just an old white house, on the west side of the road, with the name Bill's on the front window...Oh, and there will be a ton of cars parked around it!! So worth it though!!
