They were trying to convince each other to jump! MacKenzie wasn't with us because she had to go home early to fly out to Texas to see her Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. (Cheryl, this is the couple that used to live in your ward and would help out with Jared's therapy) Anyways, MacKenzie would have froze in this area of the lake. It was way colder than the main body of the lake. There are little waterfalls back in this part of it and I am sure it is snow melt off. We had so much snow so late in the spring that the water temp.s and water levels are dramatically higher than they have been in previous years. That is one reason why there was so much wood in the lake, and lucky me, I hit a piece with the prop. :) OOOPS !
This is taken from the rocks where they were jumping looking down towards the bridge area.
It took a lot to convince Cassidy to jump. It doesn't look far, but it was. This is also where Cassidy cut her foot. Kodi did a good job being the paramedic bandaging her foot up. It was fun watching him be the responsible take charge young man.
Rian and Sadie, so cute!
Cassidy, Rian and Kodi over in the Marina area
Kodi doing the manly duties, chopping wood for the fire. The girls and I were just observing his boy scout skills!
Kodi and Sadie swimming in the marina area. She actually liked the water. One time we took off her life jacket and she did so good swimming. So cute, puppy dog paddling. She is the BEST dog. None of us know what we would do without her. She is a brave little thing.
Isn't the LAKE BEAUTIFUL!!!?????The sunset was gorgeous that evening.
The girls eating some lunch at the campsite
Kodi's chopped finger. It bleed all over the wood and the girls were a bit grossed out by all the blood.
Cassidy, Rian, MacKenzie(Kodi and MacKenzie have known each other since they were 3 years old. She used to be in my daycare) and of course Kodi
On the 7th of July I took Kodi, Rian, Cassidy and MacKenzie up to Cresop Bay/Lake Merwin to camp for 2 nights. What an experience. I should let Kodi tell the story, but I will give it my best shot. Cameron was supposed to come up but he got called in to work so it left Kodi as the only male. Chopping the firewood, unloading all the girls gear, setting up tents, (although the girls had to figure out how to put the the large tent that they were sleeping in at 11pm because they wanted to go boating instead of setting it up in the day light) Kodi set up the small tent that he and I slept in, made dinner and of course packed all the heavy stuff to and from the boat marina. Oh, he also had to put in a new battery in the boat, back up the truck and put the boat in the water (I don't back the trailor down into the water as well as he does) then go and park the truck while us girls waiting for him in the boat. Anything that needed to be done Kodi did it. He is thinking that going with a bunch of girls isn't all the great. He isn't going again he says unless some males go with us. I thought it was very funny. He was surprised at how much work it is to go camping! Yes, I bet some of you Mom's reading this will think that is funny. Camping is WAY to much work.
While we were camping Kodi cut his finger with the hatchet. Cassidy cut her foot on some rocks where they were jumping off, we got stranded out on the lake with a dead battery and had to be towed in by the river patrol (sheriff) because the boat wouldn't start, ruined the prop of the boat bacause I hit a piece of wood in the water. Hummmm what else happened...I can't think of anything else, BUT WE HAD FUN!!!! and that is all that matters.
