Lakehouse With Daddy!

KC came with us this time and the kids loved it! . . . (and so did I)

 There were smiles all around for most of the extended weekend.

Castiel loved feeding the fish!

Emmitt loved getting dirty in the sand!

Cameron loved fishing with both Daddy and Grandpa!

Audrey is finally loving the water!

And I just asked Zoe "I love everything about the lakehouse!"

And my biggest kid with his big fishy :)

Not shockingly, Cameron enjoyed daddy's attention, as much as he could get :) Daddy showed him how to cast (kind of), he got to go out fishing with the boys a couple times, fishing in the paddle boat, kayaking with daddy . . . he kept going for most of the four days. And he loved every minute of it :)

Trolling behind the boat, with his Superman pole!

 He was actually picking up worms and giving them to Grandpa  :)

That's Grandpa and Cam out there. He fell asleep until a fish grabbed the line and the pole bopped him in the head!

 Action shot of him reeling in a fish :)

He paddled the entire time while kayaking with Daddy, instead of getting a free ride like in the past. 

Yes, he also got Daddy out of the paddle boat fishing.

 His first Perch! and it was small enough for him to hold the line :)

My favorite funny moment was his naming of this turtle. Two weeks ago he named a turtle "Lucky". This time when he was asked, the name "Billy Bobbers" came out. LOL!

Girls had a great time building sandcastles. They had quite the village going. Daddy had to keep Emmitt (a.k.a. Godzilla) busy, because he loved the sand just as much and destroying seemed to be his specialty :)

Castiel didn't seem to enjoy the sand as much. He was happy in the water or on the boat.

There is a lot going on in this picture! Emmitt is eating the fish food (don't worry, they are oyster crackers), Cam is asking for more, while the girls are seeing who can get their finger bit first by a fish :) FYI, they both chickened out.

Mom's don't make it in many pictures, I think I need to start requesting KC to take more pics so the kids believe I was around too.

Besides the family pic, this is the only picture I made it in. On the sandbar enjoying some Frisbee with the girls. See, that's really me on the right, lol.

KC and I took the girls to the sandbar and for a boat ride while the boys were all down for a nap. It was nice focusing on just them for a bit. We also had a few great water fights!

Talking about water fights! Audrey really got Grandpa :)

And Grandpa got her right back!

This is typical twins. Emmitt getting down and dirty, while Castiel is sitting back observing.

I just love seeing my Audrey in the water. She is so comfortable this year, jumping off the dock, off the raft, swimming across the bay, going down slides and Cam is doing it all along with her . . . I absolutely love it!

She even played King of the Raft with her big sister. It lead to the fight, but I still love that she is having fun in water!

The boys admiring "Billy Boppers" before letting him swim to freedom again.

This was another wonderful time with the family. Cameron is already asking when he can go back :)

I want to thank Grandpa and Grandma S for having such a wonderful place for my children to explore.
