Catching (and releasing) Nemo

Life is pretty good up here at the lake. I have two fishing poles and I've been practicing my casting skills. Yesterday my Grandpa Chip came up with a great idea. He anchored this swim toy (that is in the shape of Nemo) and I used it as a target for my fishing weight. I'm not using any real fish hooks yet. Maybe when my dad gets here I can try fishing for real. But what would I do if I actually caught a fish?

F.U.N.

What is there to do during an afternoon at Gun Lake? Let me tell you...

Jump on a trampoline.

Go on a couple of JetSki rides.

Go TUBING! REALLY FAST!!!!

Get to look at a really cool old car (this is me trying really hard not to touch).

And finish up with a handy carpentry project.

What an awesome day!

Cruisin'

Being escorted around town in Grandma's convertible is a pretty cool way to travel. Vacation is awesome.

We all scream for ice cream!

I'll admit that I've lost track of how many times I've had ice cream or popsicles over the last few days. Isn't vacation GREAT?!?!

At the office

Last week something pretty special happened. I got to go into work with my dad. I did this last year and it was so much fun. I've been asking for MONTHS for the chance to do it again. Finally the time came. Here I am wearing my necktie with my pajamas the night before our work day. 

Nice ensemble don't you think?

Here we are, dressed up and briefcases in hand. We had a really productive day. There was a bunch of paper that needed to be shredded (under close supervision obviously). We had a conference call with my mom. We had lunch at a restaurant that makes AWESOME milkshakes and then someone at the office was having a birthday so there were even cupcakes. Work is GREAT! I wish I could go with my dad every day!
