Yuba Lake

We didn't waste any time sitting around waiting for Summer to roll in... Right after McKaleigh's graduation and a quick trip to Oregon for Grandpa Walt's graduation, we were off to Yuba Lake in the trailer.  We chose this spot for a couple of reasons... It was close, It had a zipline, and we had heard lots of good stuff about it.  We were sad that McKaleigh couldn't join us on this one, but with a few weeks of work left she decided to work the weekend.

Here are some fun shots from the trip...

Shortly after we got there, we determined what kind of river monsters we were dealing with...This dead fish Alex found was about a foot and a half!
 There were so many fish - literally swarming around, you could fish right from the shore...or spray them with a water gun!
 Colton and I tried fishing from the paddle board - the lake was beautiful and it was fun to sit and chitty chitty chit chat together
 After a bit, and so many fish around, Colton decided he could probably catch one without a pole...and he did!
 Here it is!
 Long days of fishing and sunshine make for tired boys!
 We got ALOT of use out of both kayaks and the SUP this trip!
 Colton trying his hand the old fashion way!
 On day two we explored the camp ground that had the zipline.  I had no intention of going, but Colton talked me into it!
 The views not too shabby!
 Proof that we both made it down in one piece!
 One last evening of trying to catch another fish.

 Yuba Lake was so much fun and i'd go back in a minute, but there are so many other adventures and not enough time!  We love camping or glamping or whatever you call it!

McKaleigh 2016 Graduate

Life moves pretty quickly...Even more quickly when you have a child old enough to graduate.  We are so proud of the accomplishments that McKaleigh has made and can't wait to see what the future holds.  Here are a few shots from her crazy big day!
 Grandpa Walt got in on the graduation action as well!  He graduate this year with his master's degree!  I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!
 McKaleigh and cousin Addy! They are jokers together!
 Both grandmothers...
 Aunt Heather
 The girl cousins (and Giddy) watching a movie after a long afternoon
 Family chit chat...
 McKaleigh was made for adventures!  So excited to see where this new chapter in her life takes her, the people she will meet and the memories she will make!
