Fish Lake - The Best Place On Earth

At the beginning of August, we went to Fish Lake - our favorite place! After a five year absense it was great to be back....the only problem, the WIND! It never stopped blowing, so there wasn't much fishing to be had. But all of the grandkids had a lot of fun. Amy, Annette, and I each came prepared with activities. We called the kids "Spy-Kids" and they went on several missions. Amy made each of them a note book, with their name and an animal to represent them. They then went on two treasure hunts, for things like leaves, berries, flowers, chipmunks, and dear. They loved it. Annete gave them each a spy glass to find all that they needed. She also set up treasure hunts with clues, to things like water color paints and card games. On the last night, I set a "fish game" - my Dad helped me make fishing poles out of bambo sticks and hemp. It was a hit. So even though there wasn't much fish to be had, at least the kids had fun!!

Abby -the best 'biggest' cousin ever! She made sure that all the kids had a blast!!

All the SPY-KIDS: Allie, Tyler, Tyson, Garret, Preston, and Josh.
