There were tons of creatures for the kids to catch in the lake. We caught tadpoles, fish, frogs, turtles and even a shrimp. We saw a snake, but didn't catch it. Tayden was most proud of his turtle catch. He dove off his kayak into the lake and came up with a turtle. He waited patiently all day in the turtle hole waiting for this moment, so it was a big deal. Beckett was excited about the bare handed frog grab and Cache was just excited about every minute of every day.
Kyle insisted on Kayaking by himself, but I wasn't so sure. However, he showed me up and ended being a natural. By the end of the trip he could get in, push himself off, kayak around, come back and park and get out on his own. He was completely self sufficient.
We spent most the evening on the lake and finished the night off with s'mores. We slept amazing in the camper and woke up refreshed and ready for some more water fun. The day was full of snacks, chatting in the shade, kayaking, animals hunting and nature walks and adventures. Not only was it boy heaven, but mom heaven too. It was great to get away from the day to day and just be with family. Life is simple at the lake. Its getting back to the basics and enjoying life with the people that matter most. I can honestly say my family has not gotten along that well or had that much fun together in a really long time. Being out in Gods Country in good for the soul.
