Fish Lake

Our annual trip to Fish Lake was really fun this year. Jim made our accomadations extra nice. Our's is the white tent. Then we had our lovely sitting area that connected us to Whitney and Jason's red tent. (Ty slept in his car). Who could ask for anything more when surrounded by such beautiful scenery?

Waking up the first morning to a spectacular sunrise.

Gathering with the whole gang. We had a bit of rain and a whole lot of mesquitoes. But we still had fun. Fishing, playing cards, telling stories and riddles and crafting. Just being together with this group is the best.

Jason brought back a friend from fishing. The little kids loved this snake. No parents would let them take it home, so it was taken off into the woods and given its freedom.
I love going to Fish Lake, because it is a place where Jim's family has gone forever. Jim's dad spent summers there fishing and having fun with his friends and family. There are trees with his name carved in them. Jim remembers fishing the streams as a little boy, and we started taking our kids there when they were small~ it's a beautiful place to enjoy family traditions.

That really was fun, even with mosquitoes and rain! Those mosquitoes were a little out of control, though!
