Our annual trip to Dry Creek was canceled due to the rainy weather making the back road a muddy mess. We were going to make this trip with the Van Schulthies family also. Turns out, this large family of ours can't adjust to change very easily. We ended up not going to Dry Creek, but couldn't agree on what to do as a group, so we all did our own thing.
On Saturday afternoon, some of us went down to the church and played volleyball .
This is us MacGyver-ing the net as the pole was broken. We put the stack of chairs on the pole post to the pole standing up. Worked alright and we played ball!
Sunday evening there was a mad game of Settlers going on.
Monday, the weather was decent. So last minute we all headed up to the lake for some fishing. It was packed up there, so Weston took us across the lake to a cove and we just made camp on the side. The water level is so high, it is crazy right now. We all had a good time though. The kids caught a lot of perch and squealed with delight.

Logan and Tommy were the only brave ones to get in the water (well with a wet suit). This is Logan taking off from our little cove.
Heading home after a long day. Most everyone had a good time. A few headed back to mom and dad's back yard for a fire pit, hot dog roast and smores.
I just love eating the perfect s'more: marshmellow is toasted and light brown, stringy, sticky and finger-licking good. I usually only eat one. But if it is done well, then it is heaven!
Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all those who have fought for our freedoms and continue to today. I think of you often when we have a nice day like this. Freedom. It is a beautiful thing.
