Angie found a horseshoe right off the bat. Lucky girl...:)

Our first day finds in about three hours...:) Angie and I could do this ALL DAY LONG...:)

Here we are all smiles..:)

George..:)

Ken eyes looking in the dirt....:)

Spring!!!!!

Playing can be hard work,,,but it sure is fun...:)

George took us to an old house place, here you can see the cellar has caved in.

Humm?? what came first??

Green..:)

This was what Ken and I found in about three hours.

This is what Angie found along with some golf balls...:)

Beau surprised us with a visit...:) Love you Beau..:)

We went to the flea market in Nashville yesterday and I found this awesome doctor's bag for Hunter. Pretty dang cool!! Was told it's over 100 years old.

Kerry was wanting a steamer trunk and we found this for her... Again pretty cool!

The bottom of Hunter's bag reads "Genuine Walrus". Along with some numbers which I don't know what they mean.

Angie looking in the dirt....:)

Venice LA. & Red Fishing

Scales of a Red Fish....Beautiful color....:)

This is one crazy looking fish. It's a Flounder. Both eyes are on one side and he's got some pretty sharp choppers too

Ken's biggest Red fish weighed 12.8. Good one sweetie!

And here's mine. We didn't weigh him for some reason??? Maybe because he was BIGGER!!!!

Our second day out we went down the Mississippi about 30 miles. It was FOGGY too. At times you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Then you'd hear the BIG SHIPS' HORNS BLOW...very scary for me. Then when you'd hit the fog it would feel like ice, freezing cold.

On our way back that afternoon we hit the ship waves and Moxy went airborne a few times she DID NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL... After that I couldn't pull her out from under my feet. Poor baby. Of course Ken thought it was funny...Me, not so much...Let's put it this way we didn't go back...

This is one of the small ships going up river.

Hap Hap Happy!!!

Red fish have spots on them, some would have two or three spots, most only had one.

Moxy would get so excited when we'd catch a fish.

Ken's flounder. This is the side that lays on the bottom, real white looking.

This is the side that has everything,

If you notice in this picture Moxy is soaking wet. Ken had a red on and Moxy got so excited that she stumbled over the side of the boat. She started swimming towards the fish and I called her back to the boat....Goofy girl...:)

This is another type of drum,, I'll just call it a Zebra Drum...:)

The Reds were eating the baits...

Ken's Red....

The edge of this grass is where we caught most of the reds.

Sun going down in Venice... Thanks Venice you've been good to us...:)

We took a walk up on the levee. You can still see the damage from Katrina as you look around.. Very humbling.

Loading up and getting ready to head out in the morning..

This is a survival pod. I saw them on ships when we were in the river and from where I was sitting they looked like a jelly bean to me. They have one here where we're staying so I took a picture of it. It's a lot bigger than what I thought.
