our TIME at the lake house

Ride on the boat w/Captain Scott, it was a little cold.

Rachel and Lauren playing it cool.

This kids and their treasures found by the lake. They even had enough fish skeleton they put it back together like a puzzle.

This is Ethan's favorite past time. He was by Uncle Scott's side the whole time fishing and they were pretty productive.

Yes, this is one fish trying to eat another. The fish was stuck in it's mouth and they were floating to shore. So we were able to end up saving one. So Bizarre!
One beautiful fish. I wish I could remember what kind it was and how much it weighed. {I was just told this is a carp and it weighed about 5lbs.}

Way to go, Ethan! Nice size catfish!
The product of a days work. Yum! Yum!

I just loved these next two pictures.

Lauren was having a blast, except when she got wet.

These boys weren't just hanging around like this all the time. But it is a cute pic!
We are actually sitting on the lake bed The water was pretty low, which is normal for a lake made from a dam. It was a fun evening relaxing and watching the kids play with fire.

This was a much needed break. And like always we have so much to be thankful for. Right now we are so thankful for Scott & Kari sharing their lake house with us and for taking such good care of us all. We had a great time, even if we all did get sick. Sorry!!!
