We went to Philips Lake The second week in August and we had a blast. The kids lived in the water for 5 days while we got in and out of the boat all day long. We paused to eat, to play a lawn game, back to the water, pause to fish again, and finally fall into our pillows at night.
Parks was a fish catching maniac.
Trolling made the fishing easy. At one point while I was getting up on the dock from the boat, I held my pole a little too close to the water and a fish actually jumped out of the water to grab the hook. Makes the fishing easy. :)
Parker could literally tube ALL DAY LONG. Once this weekend when a little wind picked up and he was in the tube by himself, it flipped completely upside down. Parks held on until it flipped back over to our shock and awe. He told us later he was only "a tiny bit scared...but then I found my strength and decided just to hold on".
So then we figured he could try kneeboarding!
And Evie held on with her tiny mighty arms and went around the lake twice with Jer!
And despite a brief visit to the local hospital, Evie was a total trooper all weekend while she was under the weather.
This little gal has her own pole and tackle box and can bait, cast and reel all by herself. :)
