The Sacrifices We Make...

Fish Lake....
I know, you hear about this place all the time but it is part of who we are,
maybe more, who Trent is AND since he loves it, we love it (most the time.)


The kids always start off great.

But usually by the 30 to 40 minute time frame things go south real quick. 
From there it is just pure chaos out in the middle of the lake. Tate and Em start standing
up in the bow have pushing contests, Syd starts longing for the cabin (mostly because she is bored).
Or she starts conversations with the fellow fishing boats, with her really friendly megaphone volume turned up nice and loud.
And through it all, 
we happily put up with the wind, the fighting, the whining, the teasing, the smashed faces against windows...
just to make our fish crazed loving Daddy happy AND it is usually well worth the work!
 I was happy when Cassie, Ryan and her kids pulled up 
to appease the fish hunter. I love how Fish Lake makes this guy so happy.

  2. Great pictures in this post and the last. Fishlake is awesome. Maybe we should lock the kids in the basement and do an adult trip. That's how my day is. Thanks for the fruit the other day!! It was the best thing I've had to eat all week. So Yummmy! and so good to see you! Glad your back.
