Dad and Loo-Loo's Party

On Thursday we went to the park/lake for loo-loo's party. It was what she wanted to do. And, I was happy not to go to elsewhere. By the way... who left that naked baby on the blanket? Probably the same mom who left the cake in the sun.





Then on Friday and Saturday we went camping and did what dad wanted to do....





If you tell kids that they might find gold in a river they will be entertained/busy for HOURS. I wasn't fibbing I saw it on the news- I guess more people are starting to pan for a hobby. Besides, I did at least tell them that if they did find any then they would be just crazy lucky.

On Saturday Husband and I went fishing. Which was a very fun and good date. However, I would suggest that you do not do a leg workout the day before you cross a river in waders. There were no casualties but I did have very little control of my legs half-way across the river. It did not help that the waders I borrowed were enormous on me. Husband even called me the stay-puff fisher girl. So, crossing the river went something like this: Very fast water moving along which is deep enough that it's at my mid-thigh. Pick up leg, river carries leg downstream, place foot down and slip on rocks, foot slips in boot, 3 inches of progress made. It was quite comical and yes, I laughed the whole way increasing the hazard of falling. Once we forged the river we had a very nice spot to fish where he caught two and hooked another. I hooked into one myself but it went berserk, jumped out of the water several times and got away. All in all, a successful fishing date and I must say I am becoming quite the fly fisher woman. You may not be able to read it but, the hat I'm wearing says "Eagle Claw"... just pull out a tooth and paint my neck red.
