Ella's Big Catch


From the moment we got to the lakehouse for Thanksgiving, Ella was ready to fish. Thank goodness her cousin Harrison is good and patient at fishing. She brought her "magical" Barbie fishing pole. She told everyone it was very special. Her grandpa helped her fish some too. After two days, no catch. The last morning we were getting ready to go and Ella came running up the stairs telling us she had caught a fish.And it was a BIG catfish. It probably weighed twice the weight of her pink fishing pole!She named the fish RHINO because it was so big. Harrison also caught a smaller fish and Dylan had fun putting the smaller one back in the lake.

Thanksgiving


We had a relaxing Thanksgiving at Tiffany and Mark's lake house. We got to relax with family and see Fall leaves! My Dad, Ann and Karly came from Utah. It was a treat to all be together. We ate smoked turkey and a yummy ham too.
Dylan and Nana snuggle on boat ride.
We took boat rides, rode the Sea Doos, fished, slept, relaxed and best of all talked and talked! The kids were outside from sun up to sun down. Eric was so relaxed out there, I had to beg him home. He also got to go hunting and have some guy time. On our way home, we got another treat: Thanksgiving with my mom and sisters. So we got to celebrate with both sides of the family. Doesn't happen too often!
