Memorial Weekend 2012 - Wind, wind, and more wind!

This Memorial Weekend we decided to spend two days at the lake with some WaKeeney campers, including Mom and Ron.  Upon driving into the campground on Saturday we promptly drove right back out and onto WaKeeney because of an approaching storm.  Correction: a QUICKLY approaching storm.  So we hit the highway and made it safely to WaKeeney.  We sat there for about an hour and headed back out to the lake.  It was a nice evening, wind aside. 

We felt the camper blowing in the wind all night long, and woke up Sunday to more wind.  Nobody was going to worry about any water activities so we did the best to keep the kids entertained. 

Royce took the kids fishing in a little pond at the lake.  They had really good luck!  I came to catch some pictures of them and I couldn't have timed it better! 

See for yourself!



Waiting....

 What's on Isaac's line?

A fish!

Great catch! 

Awesome job, Isaac!

Chloe just wanted ONE more fish before she could be done.  I think they both caught three in the whole time fishing but she just really needed her last one and was very patient. 

I see a fish!




 That's my girl--let Royce hold it while you pose nicely!
Great catch, Chloe!


After fishing Shirley Hager broke out the squirt guns.  Luckily she was a good sport and played along, too!  The kids had so much fun and the grown-ups did as well. 




 "I SURRENDER!"

Amelia and Caroline also enjoyed the lake as they could be outside as much as they wanted.
I think most of our battles anymore are because they want to be outside all the time.

Isaac is ready for water wars!

While at the lake Isaac made a new "best friend" as he calls Darris. 
Darris is the son of a WaKeeney couple who were also camping at the lake and these two boys hit it off right away.  Darris had a car at the lake and I'm pretty sure it logged more miles than any watercraft did this weekend. 
The boys actually look very similar as well!

And Chloe's one request while at the lake was that she ride her bike on the BMX bike trail. 
She was determined to do it and she did GREAT!  Royce and I were amazed at how fast she went.  Those hills were B I G for someone her size!




And last but not least, Caroline showing off her sunglasses from the weekend. 

"Heeeyyyy!"
 I LOVE how little their noses look with their shades on!
Ha Ha Ha!
