Playing Catch Up

As you may have noticed, I have been a slacker and have not posted anything new for a while.  Over the next week I hope to get caught up to where we are and what we are doing right now.  I will try to post one to two posts a day until we are completely caught up.  If you want to read them all that is wonderful!  If you don't, well I completely understand.

For starters we are going to go back to a family trip to Lake Pleasant over Columbus Day weekend.   On the Saturday before Columbus Day we went with our friends, The Ashtons, our to Lake Pleasant.  We have lived in Arizona for 5 years and have never been out there with our family. 

We roasted hot dogs over a fire and talked and laughed.

We fished in the lake.  Surprisingly we didn't catch anything, of course due to the kids wandering around in the water at the time others were fishing I guess its not too surprising.

The kids collected lots of shells.


Clearly I was not thinking quite correctly when I forgot to bring towels and swim suits to an activity at the lake, but that didn't seem to stop the kids .  I thought the water looked pretty gross, but that didn't seem to bother them at all.


We will have to take more trips to the lake.  It's about the only natural water we get to see in our little part of the world except for monsoon rain.

That looks like tons of fun. Spencer and I agreed that the water does look a little questionable. He said it looks like their is a garbage can floating in the background in the picture of all 4 kids, but I guess in Arizona you take whatever you can get.
