Fish Lake

So I am a little slow about getting this blogged, but here it is! Last weekend we went to Fish Lake with Jeff's side of the family. Jeff's parents rent an amazing cabin that we can all stay in together! Fish Lake is a georgeous place, if you haven't ever been there, I reccomend it! We had such a fun time taking the kids out on the boat to catch perch. They catch fast and they are fun for the kids. In one of the pictures on the boat you can see Jayden holding a worm. Shortly after that she didn't want it close to her. She is so funny. After a full day of fishing, she fell asleep on the boat, it was so cute!
One of the days we were there, Melissa and I decided to color while the guys were out fishing, and we decided to make it into a little contest, one for our brother-in-law Josh to be the judge. They were arrriving later that day. So we colored our little hearts out, and of course, we each thought ours was the best. Josh arrived and we layed out all of the pictures. Melissa entered 3 pictures, I entered 2, Jeff entered 1 and my father-in-law entered 1, but put his initials on the page so he was disqualified. The judging began, and 1st place was my Strawberry Shortcake picture! I was so thrilled, because Melissa is so competative. 2nd place-my pony picutre! Jeff hoisted me in the air as I went prancing around, so proud! 3rd place was her Strawberry Shortcake picture. The look of devestation on her face was the best moment of my life (ok, not really, but you have to understand how competitive she truly is--the truth has come out). As I was cheering I glanced over, and there she was, with my picture in hand, just staring at it. Then she called Josh over to explain why my picture was so much better. To make circumstances even better, knowing how great this was that I won, Jeff held an awards ceremony. For my 1st place picture I recieved a portable DVD player (owned by me), my 2nd place picture I recieved a digital camera (owned by me), and Melissa's 3rd place she recieved a bag of cheetos. I offered her coloring lessons, if she was interested. Melissa, you know I love ya!
Karen was so sweet and loved to hang out at the cabin with the babies. One of the days we rented a "party boat", which was so great! It had a carpeted deck, and tons of space for the kids to play on deck. It was fun because the entire family was able to go out at once, including the babies!
Overall, Fish Lake was so much fun and so memorable! Thanks Boyd and Karen!
