Fish and Family Fun

For family summer vacation most summers, we go up to Fish Lake for about a week. We had a lot of fun this year with all the family and the kiddos. There were 16 of us in all, and not even everyone was there. Luckily we had a big cabin. On to the pictures!

The Lake

Don't you feel peaceful just looking at it? I do.

Reed had lots of fun. Both Reeds did, actually

This is how Renick spent a lot of his time

Relaxin' on the couch playing games on their phones (my phone is practically Rachel's, so we may as well call it her's).

The girls got to go out on the boat a couple times, and they mostly liked it, except when the water sprayed up.

Reed took his first steps while we were there! He's really starting to get the hang of it now.

The girls also went "fishing" off the balcony inside the cabin. Mike got this idea before we left home. He put holes in clothespins and attached them to the lines of the girls' little fishing poles. They cast off the balcony and caught yummy "fish" (see next picture).

The "fish" are various snacks and treats attached by the Mommies down below. The girls loved it.

Mike's uncle Richard and aunt Denise came too, it was fun having them with us
Reed did most of his hiking in this little backpack.

What a fun week we had!
