Gone Fishin'

Yesterday, Jon took the day off so he could take the children FISHING!

This was a first for Laney and Henry! We loaded up, rolled down the windows and drove out to our friends' pond!

Upon arrival, this NEIGHbor trotted down to welcome us! It was quite fond of Laney!

Jon unpacked and got everything ready to go!

Getting Emily started.

My family ready to TACKLE some fish! Here fishy fishy!

Meanwhile, I was quite the number one fishing fan. I took pretty pictures of Laney on a rock...

and Henry snacking...

While I took pictures, Jon shouted, "I bet Mommy can't catch a fish!"

So, after getting set up, look what happened in about 5 seconds...

Yes, you can call me the FISH WHISPERER!

Laney was next! Her very first catch eVeR!

Yeah Laney!

And if it wasn't exciting enough, Emily caught a fish too!

Meanwhile, while everyone was catching fish...look what Mr. Big Fish Talker was still doing...

Then WHAM....Emily caught another fish!

Laney and Jon even helped her!

Henry even got to touch the icky fishy!

Laney and Lauren, World's Best Fishin' Gals.

And finally... Jon hooked his fish!

Whoo hoo!

The Big Kahuna!

We all had a grand fishing day. Everyone FINALLY caught a fish...but who caught the largest BASS? Yep, I'm waiting for the call from those professional fishing guys. Twist my arm and I'll show the big boys how to catch fish!

We then went home to nap (Henry), clean (Lauren) and play many games of basketball (Jon and the girls).

Then we traveled BACK to Camp Klatte for pizza dinner with our favorite family!

My sweet boys!

Dessert anyone? I made some fun pudding cups (chocolate pudding, cool whip, vanilla pudding, Reddi Whip and mini chocolate chip sprinkles)!!!!!

Emily, Isabella, Laney and Quinn: Crazy faces during dinner!

Adorable boys! Henry and Aspen. Hey, bro...You've Got Mail!

Jon, dogs and kiddos all coming up the hill! Love the Klatte's driveway....so beautiful!

Henry eating his very first blackberry! YUM! Home grown!

And Laney liked her blackberry too!

What an amazing time out at the Klatte's!

Needless to say, everyone came home worn out! OH....except Emily! She had her first sleep over (besides family)! She had a great time slumbering at the Klatte's!

Yippee!

We cannot wait to go back!
