Living the Grand Life

GRAND LAKE

I love working weekends... especially when they mean my husband has to do work at a certain amazing lake house.  I suppose the girls and I can take one for the team and come!!  :)
SCORE

However, we picked Livie up from preschool... mini-van filled to the brim, and her teacher said... "I'm not sure she's feeling well?!"  Yep, she spent the first night throwing up, and the next morning.. but when we got her down to the dock... this happened... SMILES it was just what the doctor ordered.
 

She was very interested in the minnows.  She became the official minnow girl by the end of the weekend.  She delivered minnows to anyone who needed bate.  (is that the correct spelling?)
 

 

This one picked it up quickly...
 

Notice her pole bending.....
 

Yep, she caught this fish by herself!!
 

She was very proud!
 

Even great grandpa got in on the action....
When we told Livie he was coming she said, "What?!  Can great-grandpa SWIM??!!  He's so old!!"  He is 97 so it was pretty cute.

He may not swim, but he can fish!
 

We took the dogs for a walk.  The girls loved this.  Livie's was very excited, but Claire's was NOT... she kept saying "c'MON Puppy c'Mon"
 

We also found awesome leaves on our walk so we decided to do some rubbings.
 

 

Stan cleaned the fish....
 

A little rest after coming up from the dock.
 

Livie found a leaf crown.
 

It was truly relaxing.
 

And the fish were delicious!!
 

Remember this picture... you are going to be amazed by what the girls and I made after this quick tutorial from Jed!!
 

More to come... it was a long working weekend!!
