This is the 2nd camping trip this year. Ryan, Dora, and Emily were able to join us!

Emily and Ryan went fishing and she was able to catch a 16 inch Catfish on her first night out!

Grampa and Teresa had been trying to catch a good sized fish for quite a few weeks with no luck! We were about to tease them about Emily's larger fish!!

Joseph cut his finger with his new pocket knife. He and I drove back home to Fairfield to go to the Urgent Care center. He ended up with 5 stitches in his middle fingertip. I have pictures of it but decided not to upload them because some people would not like the pictures at all!!! Since Joseph had stitches, then he was not able to get his finger wet. He had to keep his hand above water and was acting like he had finger puppets... Joseph being goofy is.. not common... so I had a great time laughing and mom had a great time taking our pictures!

Since it was the weekend of the 4th, someone brought up some sparklers and we were able to have lots of fun with them!

Also, this weekend, Joseph and I decided to choose a wedding date. We wrote it out with sparklers =)

Chad was given a boat and this was the first time taking it to the lake. Adventurous as awe are, we took off the engine and attached a rope from the boat to dad's boat. We pulled Chad and Emily, who were sitting in the boat, out to the middle of the lake... Then, in Dad's boat, we circled Chad's boat to make a bunch of waves meet in the middle of the circle, where Chad was sitting! It was pretty awesome. Our goal was to flip Chad's boat... But it floated really well and we didn't even get close to flipping it!!!
