Our second lake vacation of the summer is officially underway! My mom and dad and brother (Stephen) and sister in law (Jen) are all here - so it's a full house with lots of entertainment options for the kiddos :)
We've got a little role reversal going on with the fishing.... last lake trip (just a few weeks ago) Julianna would not touch a fish and Lydia put her finger right in the fishes mouth!
Not this time around.... Lydia still loves to hold the rod
but backs away from the fish as soon as it breaks the surface of the water!
In the meantime, Julianna started baiting her own hook (with leeches, nonetheless).
Ugh. But regardless of how you might feel about the leeches, you gotta admit they are working. For a stretch this afternoon the average amount of time passing between bobber-in-the-water and fish-on-the-hook was about 37 seconds. Plenty of fishing excitement for two little girls, while Granddaddy and Matt kept busy removing hooks and throwing fish right back in the lake.
Isaac and Grandmama did a little crowd watching :)
Tonight Matt and Stephen took the boat out for a little more fishing. Matt caught a big ole large mouth bass this afternoon, and I think he's got the idea that he needs a few more!
In addition to all the fishing we've been swimming, playing games, swinging at the playground, snacking, grilling, building campfires, reading books, doing crafts and having lots of plain old fun.
