Lake and River Adventures!

Yesterday we went up to see Aunt Dee, Uncle Bill and Dan. It was a gorgeous day and they took us to a lake we had never been to before! Uncle Bill and Dan went fishing while the rest of us hung out at the swimming spot and played. Uncle Bill came back and caught a salamander for Charlotte. She surprisingly doesn't mind amphibians or reptiles!

Chris took the kids out in the canoe for a ride. Charlotte is 100% her mother's daughter and was freaking out the whole time she was in the canoe. Chris finally brought her back and took Caroline out by herself, she of course couldn't get enough!

We had to walk in a little ways and Charlotte loved finding all sorts of rocks for her rock collection!

We headed back to Aunt Dee's moms (Grandma Pat as the kids were calling her) and headed across the road to the river. The kids loved this even more than the lake I think! 

Killian slept for about 5 minutes in the car and then just couldn't stand to miss the excitement. 

Sticks, mud, rocks and water, what could be better?

The kids ended up in their undies and we tried to get a photo of them like I have from almost two years ago, days before Killian was born!

We walked back up the hill through the tall grass, Charlotte complained on the way down but marched right up on the way back! The kids found Grandma Pat making hot dogs over the fire and were fascinated.

After some food and Popsicles we headed home. We all had such a nice day!
