Labor Day Weekend

Here are some pictures from the weekend in no particular order. My apologies to those with dial-up.

Captain Jack Sparrow aint' got nothing on me!!!

Fr. William Hahn in the orange hat with nephew William bringing in the big catch.

#1 with one of 7 bluegill coming in a close second to his younger brother. The smile says it all.
