boating and fishing

this is what the boys loved the most about our last camping trip of the year

even though lots of us went tubing, Hailey and Tucker were our favorites to watch

their facial expressions were the best

Tucker is unbelievable and will not fall off for anything

he stayed on even after flipping up on his side 

and he even got up on his first attempt at wake boarding 

the kids love looking through Heath's tackle box and came up with some great combinations (worms, marshmallows, and fish eggs) that were sure to catch a few fish. 

Ryan insisted on fishing with his buddy Daniel (Dan is a friend of the family's) and wanted to be next to him all morning long. Ryan would constantly ask him, "Daniel, do you need a worm? Daniel, do you need a marshmallow?, it was pretty funny.

Cody got to help Heath reel in the only fish of the day

but wasn't ready for it when it started flopping around

 When you get to your fishing spot early enough (6:30 am) you get to see some beautiful sights

like the steam raising off  the water

   and the sun rising, so it's all worth it

Once back at home and after everyone had bathed Ryan saw how dirty the bath tub

was and said to me, "Mom, this bath really needs a shower."

On a different note...

This same little boy decided that he would cut his hair at school today because he saw another little boy do it and thought it looked like fun.  This all wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have family pictures on Saturday.  I guess this will go along with Luke's bruised goose egg on the side of his face from the hit he took in football practice yesterday, how can I not just laugh.
