Fishing at Spirit Lake

Fishing at Spirit Lake was so fun. Besides the fact that Ellie ran down every steep slope toward the water she could find...the kids were really good.

This is how Ellie felt most of the morning...like screaming. Awesome.

But we still love her.


Here are the boys trying to decide if they have a bite or not. I promise that even though Ethan looks a little glum, he actually had a blast.

At first Ellie was a little bit worried about the fish.

Then she would "shhh" it.

And then she forgot all about it and started cheesin' it up or the camera.

It was very pretty.

I am convinved that this is why my kids like fishing.

We cought five but one got away. Ethan was very proud of his catch.

This was the best family picture I could get. Ethan is looking who knows where and Ellie is playing Peek-a-boo. Atlease I caught her with her hands open on this one.

And this is the best I could do trying to get Ellie touching the fish. She would put her little finger on it then squeal and jump back. It was very cute.

This was our view at sunset of the mountains outside our trailer while camping. Very pretty.

Ethan's favorite part about camping is by far...S'mores. How could it not be?

For once, a calm Ellie.

They were both wild we were there. They love being outdoors.

Poor Ethan was sooo tired on the way home. See the bubbles??

Ellie found my make-up bag when got home and we were cleaning up. and all of a sudden she got very quiet untill Daddy discovered her. Now, I promise that she is not in pain from the mascara in her eyes. She is screaming wildly because Daddy took it away.

Isn't it good to be home
