Sweaty Leader

We had a great Memorial Weekend just the 5 of us! Little hiking, fishing, gardening, and we even got to have Aunt Bev here for a couple nights!

We found a beautiful new place to hike, and somehow Bryndel ended up in the front pretty early on in our hike.  So, Kyle made sure to thank her for being the leader.  Her response, "A sweaty one!"  And, the Sweaty Leader was born.

We spent an afternoon at our friend's beautiful piece of property trying to catch a few fish.

Fish were caught, but not without a little adventure mixed in...  Kyle's first job on the boat was the capture the little mouse that was running circles around our feet! After that it was the usual tangle of kid fishing poles. Two lovely bullheads were caught, thankfully!  And then the motor died when we were the at the far end of the lake. Who knew I could be such a great rower, ha!  The girls loved every minute of it though, as evidenced by their wide grins.  I think they are gamers.

We spent a beautiful morning at the Memorial Day parade, while being ever so thankful for being a part of this great country.  Now, its on to summer!!
