A Day at the Lake

We decided to spend a day at one of the lakes in the area. So we loaded the vans, the truck, the people and left.

The vans with the kayak and the canoe on top of them ready to be loaded with people (actually most of the people are in the vehicles, I think I am the only one out of the vans).

He had a fish in the bottle, and the fins made it so that it wouldn't come out. He would walk into the lake, fill up the bottle, then he would take it to a hole where the children were digging and dump the water in the hole. He checked to see that the fish stayed in the bottle each time. Here he is saying, "FISH."

After we played in the water, we decided to take a walk around the lake. It was about a two mile trail. Huck and Autumn stayed behind, and the rest of us took off on the hike. I got to walk with the children who wanted to GO. They would run ahead a little ways then wait until they could see me. I would wave to them, and they would take off again. It was a good way to end the day at Ward Lake because everyone was dry when we got in the cars to go home.

Loading the vans to go home.

Brett and I were able to go with Huck to the store to buy a couple of oars and a shrimp pot. We had to replace one oar that was broken, and we donated a shrimp pot to the bottom of the ocean. Since we owed them money, we paid for the oars and the shrimp pot. I don't know that Brett and I will every purchase another shrimp pot, so it was an experience for us.
