THE CABIN, EXPLORING, AND ILLEGAL SNEAKY FISHING

After a very late start getting out of town (can you say almost 2 hours late?), the kids and I hit the road. The trip over was great...and with the help of a couple Magic Treehouse audiobooks and a DVD, completely smooth sailing. I have to give the kids credit...they travel alot and are great with it. We spent Thursday evening with Grandma and Grandpa, and my sister and her boyfriend arrived on Friday. Friday evening we walked down to the river to do some exploring. We found some Steelhead Trout (possibly) about 2 feet long, that were landlocked and trying to swim back into the river. Kelly and I were prepared to run back to the cabin, grab a net, and get us some grub!! Dad spoiled our fun and said no...it was getting dark and no one had a fishing licence. I hate it when Dad pulls rank. HA! So, being the good and obedient sneaky and coniving daughters that we are, we schemed to get up early the next morning and get our fish. Unfortunately, they were gone by the time we got back! We searched and searched for more fish, but, alas, we were dissapointed.

Cole was our main accomplice. DRAT! No fish...Cole and Auntie...My pretty little lady...Cole making his way across the log...Brian and Kelly...Mom and Cole..Only one of us was smart enough not to get her feet wet. Can you guess who that is? She got at least one person to carry her across the water...actually make that two people...Wouldn't they make cute parents? They should take the kids for a few weeks....because who wouldn't adore THESE two? Exploring...
Wading...Looking kinda hunky...always the lady...It was a great morning of exploring...even without "the ones that got away". Regardless, it was a great weekend with family. I'll always remember long talks, heart to hearts, "arguing" with Brian, Sandy's fresh peach smoothies and peach pie with french vanilla ice cream. It was another weekend full of memories!
