We had a busy weekend over the holiday!!! Friday Dave got off work early, so, Owen, Grandma, and I met in him in Palmer for lunch. We had a good time, but, while Gram and I were grocery shopping, Dave fought to get Owen down for a nap to no avail. So, it was kind of a rough evening.
Saturday, we headed north to meet up with Geoff, Jenna, Mark, and Lynne for a little fishing. Everyone was still waking up by the time we got out there. So, Geoff met us and the boys tried out a few different lakes. Here's Owen in his camping gear...I was worried about him hooking himself since this was his first time out with the real thing. But, changed my mind at the last minute and didn't put a helmet and googgles on him! Yes, that was really my initial plan....safety first! ;O) It was raining so, he had a hood on anyway and we made him keep his glasses on. We figured that was probably sufficient. Actually, it was really those of us around him that should have been more prepared!!!
Here's a very serious shot of Dave out in his full-on waders, despite the fact that there was no sign of life on that lake!! Well, that's not entirely true, we did see the cutest little beaver paddling around. He was so nosy and even swam over the top of Dave's line!
Here's Geoff in a very picturesque setting...it was cold and rainy and I was really bored, so, we had a few extra photos than we may have gotten otherwise! ;O)
We headed back to the camp site on Nancy Lake after coming up empty handed and the boys borrowed Mark's boat. They had a lot more luck out there and Owen "caught" his first fish! He was SO excited and told us how "big" they all were.
After they got back to the campsite, we had dinner with everyone and Mark worked the last bit of energy right out of Owen...literally! In the middle of dinner Owen told us that he "tan't eat any more" and then insisted on making this super obnoxious noise. I scolded him for it and threatened to put him in the truck, but, he continued. So, Dave tried, still the same response. Dave finally put him in the truck, with no tears or arguments from Owen, and he went right to sleep. It was so funny!! It was like that noise he was making was all that was keeping him awake and he just couldn't stop!! I think he was actually glad to have been put down where it was warm and quiet!! It was all we could do to wake him back up later when we got on the road again!!!
