Another Fun Day At The Lake

Today we headed down to Lake Isabella. Camden Craig came with Matthew. We also met the Crowleys there. The boys caught a lot of fish. Jack even caught a fish with his hands. They did all kinds of tricks off the dive. It made Angie and I a nervous wreck! I was so exhausted today that I fell asleep on the beach. I owe Angie an apology- I don't think I was very good company. I stayed up way too late reading and quilting. When were getting ready to leave Angie and I had the boys throw all the fish back. Somehow Jack sat on the bucket and fell in. He was then stuck and stuck tight. While trying to get him free a very big bee got stuck in my beach cover-up and stung me good! It has been a while since I have been stung. I forgot how bad it hurts. Angie performed first aid and I survived. It took both Angie and I to get Jack out of the bucket. Talk about not having a camera when you need one. The boys begged long enough for Angie and I to give in for a switch of kids. I brought Camden, Connor, and Matthew home with me. Jack went to play with Cameron and Chloe. The older boys built a bike ramp and filmed each other. They then played x box. I made a dinner of tacos, corn on the cob, crispy crowns, fried zuchinni and nachos. There was nothing left. Those boys can eat.
When Jimmy went to get Jack he somehow fell out of wagon and banged up both knees and wrists. The poor kid had a rough day. He would be a good campanion for dad. They have about the same kind of luck. Mom- Don't let Dad sit on any buckets!
That about sums up our day. We are all tired and are ready for bed.
Good night!

Hilton Head Pics

Matthew and Jack spent a lot of time catching lizards and toads. What are little boys made of?
On our last day we went to a sand bar. We saw horse shoe crabs, baby sharks, jellyfish, sand dollars, starfish, and lots and lots of shells. We rode bikes to get there. It was probably about a 12 mile trip. Jack did it, but his little legs were worn out by the time we got back. Not to mention mom's. It didn't help poor Jack that his bike was too big for him. I have to say- I was very proud of him.

A shark that was caught on Jimmy and Matthew's fishing trip.
Nice hair! The boys loved to skim board, it was a little too windy this night though.
Full of curiousity!!
Matthew is so excited to get on that fishing boat!

Skim Boarding Fun!!!
