When we got to the lake, papa was already fishing on the other side of the lake with a bunch of the other grandkids. By the time Lachlan and Jack walked around the lake pointing out all of the "wa wa" and "bugs" most of the others were starting to clear out to get ready for dinner. Papa made sure L had a chance to hold the fishing pole and reel in the line a few times. She thought that was pretty cool even though she kept winding the reel the wrong way until the handle fell off. But she really wanted to "catch a feesh".
L didn't quite understand why saying over and over that she wanted to catch a fish wasn't bringing in the big one and Jack was even less excited about learning the art of kicking back and waiting for the fish to bite. We only spent 10 or 15 minutes with grandpa putting bait on the hook and casting in a few times and after taking some pictures decided that it wasn't going to be our day. But as we were just about to leave, L's cousin got a bite on her pole and let L reel in her first fish! She was so excited!
Jack was not impressed with fishing but did find a good rock back at camp to climb and jump off.

We were up there last week ourselves! Tony Grove is one of my most favorite places on the planet. It is so peaceful and serene and the wild flowers are so pretty right now, too. As an added bonus, we even got to enjoy a good snowball fight in July.
Love the pictures of all the kids! They are growing up fast.
