More from St. Mary's


Here is part of St. Mary's from the boat as we were pulling out to go fishing.
One of the school buildings that Andrew and his company is working on is at the top, left of center in this picture.
Drew was pushing us off so we could go fishing.
They were so excited to finally be going fishing. That was all they wanted to do out there. Yes we know their life jackets were too big, we got smaller ones before the week was out.
Drew is already an old pro at fishing. Every cast was an awesome one and he knew which lures to try, etc. Grant learned really quick from Andrew and big brother, Drew.
Taylor would still be fishing if we let him. He had to have help casting but then he would reel and reel. One time Andrew hooked a fish and let Taylor reel it in. He was so excited about it... but, of course, my camera died before that. :)
A bald eagle watched us for a minute or two while we passed him.
Isn't that just so pretty and serene-looking? Well, it was both pretty and serene!
Tyler ended up not wanting to fish after all, so we mostly got pictures of Taylor. He's acting silly here, making us laugh!
