Update 2012 -- April in the OZARK'S

After two trips to Texas, two trips to Springfield, and one trip to Norman, Ok, we get to spend some time at home in Lakeview, Arkansas. It's early spring and the leaves are starting to come out and the fishing is getting hot.  We had a Bass Master's Tournament on Bull Shoals and Dad and I went down to watch some of the activities.  Later we all went out to Gaston's on the White River to see all the Ranger Fishing Boats out of the water.  Each of the boats had a value of close to $75,000.

This is a photo of some of the boats coming in to the dock and getting ready for weigh-in.  It was a good day for some and not so good for others.

This is one of the "happy fisherman" with a full load of 5 nice bass.  I think he found a honey hole for day 1.

Dad checking out all the Ranger Professional Fishing Boats on display at Gaston's White River Resort.  The boats were lined up on the airplane landing strip.  All of the boats were made at the Ranger Boat Plant in Flippen, Arkansas, about 10 miles from the Ozark Dream.

Laura and Tom went to Las Vegas for a Dr. Convention and we got to take care of Clara and William.  The timing was great since our Sunday School class was having a hay ride and cookout at one of the members property.  As you will see we all had a great time.

Well we had to take the kids back home for school and watch Clara at her school musical.  Tom and Laura made it back from Las Vegas in time to join in the fun at school and watch Clara sing her Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
