Finding a Way To Ski

I came outside to check on the boys. Neither one of them has been able to keep any clothes on this summer. Having them nude was not surprising. What was, is what is here on tape... Isaac found two pieces of spare wood, put them up on our hillside where Dave has piled our landscaping sand. He was pretending to ski down the sand on his wood "skis".

Do you think he will be ready this winter?

Camping, Fishing at Holland Lake

We took a family camping trip down to Holland Lake, about 80 miles away from our house. We hiked up to the waterfall, the boys are here holding hands up the trail. Jake even made it, we took plenty of brakes in the shade so he didn't overheat!

That night we went out for a night boat ride. There was an outdoor wedding at the lodge with music, so we anchored in the middle of the lake and enjoyed the music. The boys fell asleep in the boat, so Dave and I got some time to talk!




We went fishing the next day... a storm front had moved in, so it was raining off and on. The fishing was great. Dave surprised Isaac with his very own Diego fishing pole. The boys caught about 20 fish, and Dave and I had our share as well. Here is a picture of the boys with a "double" each had a fish on the line.

The biggest fish of the day was caught with Isaac's pole.

The boys and I were showing how excited we were to be in a boat in the rain when it is 60 degrees. :) We tried to make our most miserable faces... it was hard to not laugh!
