Sun, Sand and Fishing!

We had another great weekend last weekend. We went back to the lake to play in the sand again, it was quite a bit less muddy this time so that was nice. The boys have so much fun playing in the sand and water. I am trying my best to turn Robert into a beach bum and i know he is enjoying it more than he lets on.
Here are just a few of the pictures i took, i have been working on expanding my photography and photo shop knowledge so i take pictures like crazy lately, i know you grandparents don't mind......

Sand Castle building 101...

Not sure what prompted this...

Just a boy and his truck, so cute!

On Sunday we decided to check out a fishing pond outside of Robert's work. We went to the Douglas County fishing lake. It was a great little lake that i know we will be back to. It was full of blue gill and Robert caught a little bass before we left. This was Jake's first real fishing trip that he had with his own fishing pole. He picked out a Mickey Mouse fishing pole at Bass Pro and we were excited to get him fishing with it. 
While Robert was getting Cody's pole all ready to go Jake tried out his new pole....

First he had to show it to "blankie"....

Then for one reason or another he decided it would make a good horse....I love this picture, it's just so Jake!

And then when it was finally time to get his baited.....it was broken, nothing too serious but not fixable at the lake. So he shared big brothers for the day.....

Cody is quite the little fisherman. He just kept reeling them in....

He even let Jake hold his catch to see what a real fish on the end of your line feels like...

While Jake didn't catch his first fish that day, he had lots of fun trying and I'm sure he'll catch that first one on the next trip, on his very own pole.

It was a great day fishing, the boys caught a bunch of fish and Cody got smacked in the face while trying to kiss a fish, sorry i can't tell the story good in written form, just ask us to tell you the story the next time you talk to us, trust me it was hilarious, i was in tears! We love making memories with the boys and we are having a summer full of them, i hope they enjoy it as much as we do, we love them so much and love being together as a family.
