4th of July Weekend on Middle Cullen

4th of July weekend we spent at the cabin. The cabin construction is well under way which meant there was some work to be done by the boys. They worked on the wall that will keep the dirt from falling toward the cabin. Oh course, they had some great helpers all weekend.
 Kate and Olivia resting in what will be the new screened in porch. 
 At one point Jameson was working so hard to clean off the block on the right that he was throwing the sad right at Grandpa. He was so proud of his work while Grandpa was covered in sand.
 A look at the addition that will include another bunk room, a 2nd bath, an extension of the living space and the screened in porch facing the lake.
 Even though there was lots of work done there was also plenty of time for fun. The kids figured out that the pontoon can have a little speed and so gone are the days of a nice slow cruse around the lake. "Faster Faster" is now all we hear.
 Olivia caught this bass all by herself. Ben did have to help her get it out of the water cause she started freaking out when she realized she had a big fish on the end of her line. It was definitely a proud Olivia moment.
 Jameson tried but did not have any luck. Didn't seem to bother him one bit.
 We also managed to get a little golf in on Saturday. Ben played the back 9 with Grandpa, Grandma and Kate. He had a legitimate 4 on a Par 3 (this meant he beat Grandma on that hole). Trevor and I had the other 2 little helpers with us for the front 9. 
 This year Grandpa had hooks placed on the back of the pontoon and now it can pull the tube. Ben wanted to give it a try on Sunday and loved it! 
 Olivia was a little more reluctant but once the boat started to move she had a great time.
