During the same trip as the branding the Grote's (our travel buddies) and all of us piled into cars and headed to Haigler after the branding festivities. Even though it's beautiful up there in June it is still a little warm when out in the sun all day. The creek seemed the perfect place to cool off.
We packed a lunch of cold, leftover chicken drumsticks (yum, not) and peaches (more my speed). Of course there were cold beers too and it was perfect if I do say so myself! Perfect. The weather, the company, the kids, the water, all of it. I so hope that the kids will remember doing fun stuff like this when they get all old and jaded... I want them to fondly reminisce about their carefree childhood and how fabulous their parents were, duh.
Tate, the hunter gatherer opted to fish for his lunch. Not really, but he did use the chicken bones to catch an entire grocery bag full of crawdads. He is very resourceful that one. He found the string and the bag, re-purposed his lunch trash and managed to catch the happy hour appetizers. Very Man vs. Wild. The boys did actually cook and eat them too, so gross, but they did it. I think Sheli and I stuck to the more traditional wine and cheese type menu. Way more civilized!
Emily and Lily. Bathing beauties. We love traveling with Aaron and Sheli partly because they are great friends, but also because they have great kids. Lily for example is plenty old enough to have "better" things to do, but she comes along with a smile and is always so sweet to the little girls that are just in awe of her. As you can see... Emi is trying to be her mirror image!
There are no words.
The boys, still fishin'
A day well spent! Look at those sweet babies sound asleep in the back of a Jeep on a dirt road. You know you're tired when that happens!
