Weekend Trip

So we braved another weekend at the lake! The 'girls' are starting to understand the whole boating process. Lindlee is especially fond of 'her' boat! She comes down the dock as fast as she can and we tell her to get into her boat and she jumps right in, even into the right boat! Luckily! She acts like she owns the whole place. She was just running around, going up to everyone and wanting them to pay attention to her. Mommy's shy one!
We tried the whole swimming thing again, but still didn't have very much luck! This time Gavin got clawed by Lindlee instead of me! Bentlee and Harlee are still my little swimmers. Bentlee is still worn out from this weekend and doesn't want to get out of bed in the morning! I had to pick her up and put her on the deck this morning to go outside! My little chunkers!

I caught my first fish ever! It only had one eye and was missing it's fins on one side. So either it had been caught by a bunch of other people too or maybe it just was a 'special' fish! It was still exciting but I didn't touch it at all, I made Gavin do all the dirty work! We caught tons more but only kept 4. Gavin's dad caught the "Catch of the Day". It was a 25" rainbow, and he was a fat one! The Marina took a picture of it with Gavin's Mom and put it in the counter to show off. I still am not sure about the whole fishing thing though after watching Gavin gut the fish! Maybe next time I'll actually touch one! or NOT!
Anyways another fun weekend on the boat!

Our Maiden Voyage! We finally got time to take our new boat out for the season! We went to Strawberry Resevoir. We went with Gavin's parents and they had their boat also! The weather was way hot outside, but the water was only 67 degrees. When we first got there, the boat was running great but would not get up to speed so Gavin was trying to look at the pitch of the prop and FELL IN! It was dusk so it made it even colder! The girls were hilarious! They all tried the swimming thing! Lindlee was terrified and obviously can't swim, even with her life jacket on! Bentlee just sat and floated in hers and Harlee was my little swimmer and doggy paddled around! (Mommy's little princess!) Shocker out of all of them that it was Harlee though! We also went on a little hike up a stream and were able to see the fish spawning! We ended up having a GREAT first time out!
