Fishing......maybe

Derek recently got a new fishing boat. Sorta. It is a blow up fishing boat. I have never heard of them but now I know. He also got a trolling motor for it. He wanted to go to the lake to "test" it out and fish. His friend Brady and his 3 girls came with. However this has never done so with so many kids!

The kids were so good while they waited for Derek to set up the boat. Of corse there was plenty of snacks to help with that.

Ashlynn loves the boat but HATES her life jacket. I'm pretty sure that had something to do with the effect it had on her ability to eat.

No bunny ears here. Just feathers!

We took the boat around to a different part of the lake to eat lunch. Derek and Brady took turns taking the kids out for rides. There were lots of campsites. We found a playground for Ashlynn, which she loved. I figured the water would be too cold for the kids, which it was, so I didnt bring their suits. That didnt stop them! After lunch the played in the shallow area of the lake. Whenever when was done we rode the boat back to the dock. That's when the really fun started. My crazy children were jumping off the dock into the freezing cold water. Kayann says "mom, can you teach me to swim in freakin' cold water"

Ashlynn loved throwing rocks in the lake. She loved putting her feet in the water, and hanging out with uncle Brady

It was so much fun to be at the lake. It made me think of all the fun we had at Lily Lake, and other lakes, growing up. It is fun to see the kids run around so happy.

PS no fish were caught. I'm sure the poles were out for 3 minutes total
