THANKSGIVING IN ALABAMA! Part 2

As promised, more pics from our trip to Alabama.  These include fishing and horseback riding.  We fished just about every day and I think every person who fished caught at least 1 of their own.  That was exciting, usually we catch none between all of us!  Yay for stocked ponds!





Jake the fisherman.  He was out as often as he could be there.  He caught the most of all of us on the trip!




Team Hyland, as they dubbed themselves.  Jake would catch and Josh would throw back (since Jake didn't want to touch the fish and Josh didn't like the boring part of waiting for a bite).





Here Valley takes Jake's first fish off the hook.  Many thanks to Valley who really got Jake going that first day.





Jake agreed to hold it for the picture, but I think this was the only one he touched.








Tony helps Josh show off Josh's first fish of the trip.





This pic was so cute I just had to include it! (thanks Courtney!)




The less enthusiastic fishermen entertain themselves by playing pirate. Actually Justin enjoyed fishing and removed my fish from the hook for me (I didn't like that either).  Here he was on dad duty so mom and the boys could fish.






Jill tries it but doesn't like it!  Don't worry, Aunt Judy, we used hand sanitizer afterwards.  And after the cows, too.





Not to brag or anything, but look who caught the big catch of the trip!!!!  Yay for my 5-ish pound bass!!!  We put him back.  On our next trip he will have made more for us to catch!





Auntie Kiki took Josh for a ride on John Wayne.  Sadly, I think this was my boys first time up on a real horse. 




Then she took Jake.





Then I took Jill.  She enjoyed every animal we saw in Alabama.  Minus the fish above.





Owen didn't quite enjoy it as much as the other kids.




The family on the 4 wheeler. 


Tomorrow, look for shooting,campfires, and other exciting updates!
