WI Trip Day 1

Thursday morning we played at the park with Grandma Elly and Katelyn. Garrison still had school!

Then, we decided to go out on the lake with Papa Mel. Best decision of the whole trip!

The weather was absolutely perfect! It was sunny, warm, and the lake was calm.

Katelyn and my mom came along for the ride too. 

The boys fished while the girls soaked up the sun. Jackson helped Papa reel one in!

He loves fishing!

Like father like son! I wonder where Brian got the fishing genes from?!?:)

Brian caught a few nice walleyes.

Since the lake was so calm, we thought we should let Jackson try tubing. He couldn't get in the water fast enough. He was so excited!

He went on with Brian first. He kept saying, "Faster, Daddy, faster!" Mel even cut in and out of the waves. He rode for a long time!

Next up was me! So fun riding with my boy!

Mom was brave enough to let Katelyn go. This girl has no fear. She didn't hang on at all and flapped her arms with glee the whole time! I think that made her week!

3 generations of fishermen

Jackson and Katelyn went back to take naps and Brian and his dad kept fishing. They caught 10 or more walleyes.

That evening we had a bonfire. My parents have a giant backyard with a nice fire pit area. Jason, Traci, Leo, Lily, Kayla, Ian, Mel and Sharon came over.

 We roasted marshmallow and ate smore's. The kids also played in the sandbox.

Beautiful and fun day/evening in Fond du Lac!
