Willard

We took our little fishing boat out to Willard Bay last weekend and a wild time was had by all.

Ben plopped himself in Daddy's pocket, aka his favorite place to be.  Every guy needs a good fishing buddy, right?

  

 

Annie spend most of the time telling Dad to go "full speed ahead."  She likes to just ride super fast over the water.  Trolling speed is not really her favorite.

 

  Annie dressed herself for the trip, which explains the skirt and backwards tights.

 

Cole, bless his heart, had a bit of a panic attack when we left the buoy's behind and went "full speed ahead,"  which gave Mom a good chuckle.  But don't worry, once Annie showed him how to be brave, he enjoyed himself just fine.

And here's a random tidbit of information - Cole never wears a hoodie shirt without wearing the hoodie.  It's like he just can't fathom that you would have the hood and not wear it.  I'm sure he shows up to school with spectacular hair some mornings.

All the kids were entertained watching Wally the Walleye who was kept in the fish keep (I don't have any idea what it's official name is, but it's where we keep the fish after we catch them hence it's unofficial name).  Never got old to make Mom get out of her seat so they could watch him swim back and forth through the fish gate.  

Since Ben is old enough to tag along this year, even Mom gets to go!  Wahoo!  Someone to entertain the troops while Dad fishes!

 

Goodbye, Sun!  We'll be back for many more sunsets this summer...

 

P.S.  You can't tell in the picture, but Annie laughed the entire time Dad drove "full speed ahead."  She really likes it.  Sometimes she'll even put her arms up like it's a roller coaster.
