More Vacation

Last year when we were here, the holding pond had been washed out.  So this year was our first time getting to enjoy it.  It totally made up for the other toys (zip line, trampoline, and swings) being gone.  We all had so much fun going for rides in the paddle boat.

The kids loved having Scott give them a ride out to the rock, then hanging out there and fishing (they were convinced the rock was the "sweet spot" for fish).

 There was a lot of fishing that went on during the week.

They fished from sun up to sun down.

Scott spent many hours tying lures and fixing broken fishing lines.  He was such a good dad and so patient with little kids that didn't know how to take care of a fishing pole.

The kids enjoyed the non city life of being up in the mountains.  They drank straight from the well...

They enjoyed target practice in the woods....

They got up close and personal with "wildlife" (a calf that had been separated from the herd).

And at night, they all slept together in the loft and talked about the day's adventures (and did a fair amount of fighting, too).
