The Lake Part 1

You guessed it, I took way too many pictures while we were at the Lake for the 4th of July.  So many that I'm going to break up even a simple trip to the lake into multiple posts!

For our first day at the lake we kept it pretty low key.  Nolan did some fishing on the dock with Grandpa and Bennett found a new love of rock throwing.  Not a bad day for our first day of "vacation".

Don't worry, no ducks were harmed while taking this next set of pictures.  We actually swapped out Bennett's rocks for a little bit and gave him some animal crackers instead.  Turns out ducks love themselves some animal crackers and Bennett loves throwing the animal crackers at to them, so everyone was happy.

On the right is the catfish that Nolan actually caught, small problem…he is deathly afraid of catfish.  It all stems from an innocent trip to the river with his Grandpas and Uncle Eric where they caught HUGE catfish that apparently flip around all over the place.  Well, Nolan caught this little booger and then decided he was too scared to swim in the lake with the rest of his fish family.  Thankfully you will see in later posts that we got past the catfish nonsense and decided the lake was an okay place to hang out afterall.

We ended the evening with a trip to the Ice Cream shop.  The boys were more excited about these dumb little rides that steal your quarter and bounce up and down for like .2 seconds than they were their ice cream.  Bennett thought these things were the BOMB, as you can see.  I'm putting one on the list for Santa.
