We went with Melissa and her kids to her mom's house to have a bbq. A trip to Ellen's isn't complete without getting in the lake and catching some fish.
The kids were having a blast using the nets and catching the little fish that swam by the dock.
While the rest of us were eating, Colby decided the take the pole and see what he could catch. Shortly after casting out, he was calling for help. He had a carp! A BIG carp. Because of a malfunction with the rod, Courtney grabbed a net and quickly scooped him up. Lucky for him he was sent back to swim among his fishy friends.
The paddle boats make for a fun trip out on the lake. I was a little surprised to see Cameron ask to go on the water. He hasn't been in any water(other than the shower) since he had a scare a few years ago at this same lake. I guess coming here calmed his fears enough to try it one more time..
The day wouldn't have been complete without the fireworks. Watching Melissa's youngest, Blake, get all excited was the best! That's what it's all about.... the kids. We had a blast and was so grateful to Melissa for inviting us over to spend the holiday. Now.. only one month till school starts.. Time to change my focus..
