Vacation Thursday

Wow another beautiful day! After breakfast we left for the lake. The kids voted they wanted to tube first before heading to the cliffs and that is what we did.

 We saw something orange in the woods so Jack jumped out to swim to shore to see if it could be the missing life jacket.
 It wasn't, it was a part of an orange bucket.


 Addyson got to drive today, while Taegan and Jack were riding the tube.
 When we stopped at the cliffs David jumped off the tall one then took his fishing pole and tried to catch fish off the smaller cliffs.
 We had a new game where the kids would go off the slide and land on the tube. 


The clouds started building into a storm so we headed back letting the 4 older kids ride the tube back.
We had a few sprinkles of rain but it stopped by the time we got to the van. We were all hungry for lunch. Stephanie had lunch prepared for all the hungry kids. After lunch the sun came back out so we left for the trout hatchery. It was closed but catch and release fishing was allowed for anyone under 16 years old.
Jack and Addyson were playing on a rock when Jack slipped.
The current was so strong it took him right under water. He is a strong swimmer and was able to swim back to the rock where his dad and Braelyn helped him up.

They caught 2 beautiful rainbow trout.
We got word from Sarah and Nolan (who couldn't come because of expected puppies) that Nikki had 8 puppies, 2 male and 6 female. These are purebred Moyen Poodle pups. If interested in one please go to their website www.gardnerlanepuppies.com 
Tonight for dinner Rhoda and Lee picked up Buffalo Wild Wings for everyone except Ben and Taunya and Mark and I. We went out to eat for date night. Mark and I went to Fred's Fish House. Ben and Taunya went to a Mexican restaurant. After dinner Rhoda organized games and then line dancing.

The kids ended the day by pushing Rhoda in the pool.
Plenty of videos were taken today which will be rendered when home. IF you would like to see the rest of the pictures from today click HERE.
