Memorial Day Case, Joey & Allison Visit

We picked Case up in Cleburne Saturday morning and Joey and Allison came after the Southwest Christian graduation later that day and we had two great days of lake fun. Case spent a lot of time in his little swimming pool pouring water from one container to another, "fishing" in the goldfish pond, boat riding and watching Cars. We caught enough sand bass for a fresh fish fry Sunday evening and just had a blast.
