Six Lakes

After sending Millie off to Las Vegas we loaded up and headed up to Six Lakes. This was truly one of the funnest places we've ever gone! We had a huge cabin, our own private lake filled with fish and lots of family to share it with! I even caught my first fish! We rowed and canoed on the lake, the kids had tons of fun swimming and caught lots and lots of crawdads! This is defiantly something we will be planning to do again!

Our cabin, the "Loon"



My first fish!

Me and Ian right before I had to throw him overboard. He kept standing and tipping the canoe so I  made him swim.

The boys catching crawdads

We don't usually send our four year old out in the canoe by himself! Funny story, he wanted to go out with grandma but she is a little afraid of water so aunt Missy said she'd take him. A few minutes later this is what we see, Owen in the boat by himself...

...and aunt Missy, fulling clothed, including sneakers, swimming and pushing the boat along.  Being the great auntie that she is she sacrificed her self when the boat began to tip and then pushed the boat (and Owen) to the shore.

More crawdads. They were everywhere.

That didn't deter Owen from jumping in though!

Melissa had planned to take her family horseback riding so Ian and I tagged along. They wouldn't let us ride the same horse and since Ian can really ride a horse by himself they gave him a quick ride. And I do mean quick. He rode about 20 feet before jumping off and saying "I'm done. Thanks"
Really so much fun! I think I already have our friends Suzanne an Richie talked into go with us next year! can't wait!
