July 4th Weekend

The Gang Sunday evening

Jana's big sand bass

The new fish cleaning station

The Qualls gang invaded Lake Tawakoni over the weekend. Johnny and Merikay and their four children and nine grandchildren spent the weekend, along with Melanie's dad Fred, his youngest daughter Emily and her friend Emma. We did not have room for everyone so all three trailers at the city park housed a bunch of people.

We had three boats so people spent a lot of time swimming, tubing, wakeboarding and of course there was a gotta catch fresh fish for a fish fry fishing trip. Jana and John caught some big ol sandbass and we got the brand new table pretty bloody as we cleaned 76 sand bass. We fed 32 people fish Saturday and then everyone loaded up boats and headed to Mrs. Stanley's firworks show on the lake.

Sunday we had a barbecue for 20 or so on a new barbecue pit Melanie bought and put together (by herself) for me.

Johnny and his son John built the very cool new fish cleaning table that has running water, electrical outlets and lights. That thing will last forever and is very much appreciated.

It was hectic and Sunday evening some folks that were still around wanted to take a ride out and watch the sunset. I stayed behind and ate some leftovers and just kinda chilled.

We had a good time, no one got hurt (well, a splinter here and a boo boo there) and as usual, the only person who showed inappopriate behaviour was me.
