We went fishing a couple of times while there and the kids LOVED it! Big difference from last year where Sam kept trying to throw her pole into the water or stick it in the mud! This year she was a champ at casting and reeling it in! She didn't care one bit that the plastic butterfly wasn't going to attract fish!
They took the paddle boat out around the lake too..
Chuck got a good workout being the pond tour guide!
I don't know why but this picture makes me tear up!! My sweet hubby and wonderful Daddy tearing the bread up for the kiddos so they can feed the ducks :) (all the Daddy's took the kids to the lake the morning we were leaving to wear them out and give us some piece and quiet to pack up)
Kale is ready for the boat ride...
Total peace......
We had a few "local visitors" while we were there. These 2 hummingbirds were just a few of the many hummingbirds we had zooming by us daily....
This last visitor was a little more surprising!!! All week long we didn't see any bears (unlike the year before when they visited all the time). Every day we would turn on the motion sensory so we could run to the back and look from our "bear proof balcony" if any of them decided to come visit. The last morning we were there Mandy walked by the kitchen and was shocked to see this friendly guy sucking the humming bird feeders dry!! Bear proof balcony.... ha!!
He was only slightly annoyed by our cameras so eventually he decided to drop down to the ground and head to the backyard, where he just relaxed for awhile!Upon further investigation we think he climbed on top of Casey's truck to get onto the balcony!! Resourceful little guy!!
