The Hansen Family headed to Grove, OK for the long, holiday weekend. As usual, it proved to be a relaxing and very enjoyable time! We intended to leave early Saturday morning, but it was raining in Lee's Summit and at the lake, so we didn't leave until about 10:00. Our timing was perfect, because as soon as we got there, the sun came out and we were able to enjoy the rest of the day. The boys went out fishing, while Dayne and I stayed at the house with Dick, Marilyn, Pam and Ashley - - we basked and read in the sun for a bit, then went out on the pontoon and took the girls tubing! They had a blast ... and it was so relaxing!
The girls went swimming in the lake for a while. It took Dayne a good while before she was brave enough to jump in, but once she did .... she was a swimmin' fool!
This was my view from the dock where I relaxed in the sun, took "sun naps", read and visited with the girls. I love this photo as it captures my moments of relaxation. Ahh .... can't wait to go back!
Here is a video of the girls tubing. They were having a great time, but got into some rough waters and Dayne bonked her head on the tube. I think it scared her more so than hurt her, but she was done tubing for a while!
Graden and Hunter spent a great deal of the day on Sunday fishing. They had some really good catches! Graden has a fishing tournament there in mid-June so I hope he can catch some "pigs" then!!
Sunday evening we enjoyed a nice meal together - smoked ribs and grilled chicken!! All was great and relaxing, until Graden got "the call" about the tornado that ripped through Parkersburg & New Hartford (where Dad & Susan live). More details coming on that ordeal.
Monday the boys had planned another early, long day fishing, but the Mother Nature had other plans - rain. We slept in a bit, then the boys went fishing on the dock for crappie. After a while it looked like it was going to clear up so the boys took the boat out for some more fishing. About an hour after they started fishing it started getting "weathery" again, so they had to pack up and head home after their fishing poles were buzzing from the electricity in the air & they got pelted with rain at 60 mph!!
We headed home about 7pm Monday night and got ready to start the week!
