Last year was the first year Joel invited the whole family on his annual "guys fishing weekend" at Lake Jameson near Euphrata WA. We were talking as we neared the lake and we realized Joel has been making this same voyage east on opening fishing weekend for nearly 18 years. But this is only the second time all the grown up college boys have invited their growing families and we loved it.
We thanked the parenting gods after spending 5 hours in the car on the way there we had no meltdowns, only 1 pit stop for breastfeeding, lots of well needed hours for mom reading her kindle in shotgun and only about 1.5 hours of the "are we there yet"s from our little man kicking the back of his dads seat.
We had a ton of fun in our maiden voyage in our new camping rig... it definitely felt like luxury compared to our last RV and although it wasn't actually a camp ground and more a grassy field without hookups it was still a great place for the kids to play, close to the fishing water and full of great food, fun and friends.
Bennett and Annie were great little fisher people catching 2 fish this year!! After most of the group left we had a relaxing last day with the Peltzer family playing baseball, fishing and cooking steaks... Bennett loves Brooke and Luke! So cute watching him chase them around! I love getting out as our little family of four! many more weekends like this to come this summer!
He loved holding the dead fish (such a boy) He told me this one was hungry and kept trying to feed him breakfast. He even kissed it... yuck! Our friends Christy and Troy loved sharing their fish with Bennett... gross but adorable!
Yep even Mama fished
I think I heard "what's Matt doing?!" like a million times... He loves him!
She even got in some fishing time
Loving the trailer time with mommy
Trying out his friends two wheeler... he will be without training wheels before we know it
First movie night in the trailer
I promise our doggie didn't have her enormous head in her car seat the whole drive... but these three were nearly perfect on the 10 hour round trip drive.
Our sweetie playing while mama packed up the trailer... growing up so fast
