Low Key the way to be...

This was the last trip in July and it was a very relaxing trip. very hot! We really swam and fished most of the time so there are not many pictures. Zachary caught a wonderful fish that Matthew thought about getting mounted but decided that Z wouldn't appreciate it yet so we just ate it :) I love the proud smiles though, don't you?

The admiration of fish...must be a boy thing

Lil man with his big fish!!!

Alexis thinks fish are cute. Do you?

finally the picture of the barn...oh and the kids :) Matthew hooked up the baby swing in the rafters so that Kendra would have the ability to do what she loves. Get pushed around ... LOL! no she loves to swing. Can do it for hours!

After several days of just being lazy Matthew decided we should go raspberry picking and took us to a wild patch that he knows of. At first the pickings were slim but in the end we left far earlier than we could have if the baby and I were not such wimps. I got stung once and the baby was just done. Anyways, we got 8 cups in all and out of that we made two raspberry cobblers. One Z burned by turning the oven to broil when I was not watching and one that Matthew perfected and made us all want to go picking again.

I then decided that we needed activity again and so Matthew took us to Kitchitikipi (big springs) and we enjoyed the sites again. It is a favorite for the fact that the spring is amazing but that the fish are all big and come in to stay cool.

everyone wanted to be the captain

Arg! I a pirate mom!

After the big springs we headed over to the ghost town. I will try to download the photos from the video camera because I ran out of battery on the regular one. This is the only proof we were there, unless you count the tourist coffee mug that had to be purchased (at every site we see lol!) It was a great place though and we learned alot about that time in history
