A DAY AT DODGE

Sunday July 10, 2006

The kids and I were bored sitting at home so I decided to go spend the day

at the Sandy River. We had planned to leave at 10am but it took us

forever to get ready (I had most everything done the night before too).

I thought we would be late and not get our favorite spot. Well as it turned out

we were the only ones there until 2pm. It was such a glorious day.

The kids had a lot of fun jumping off the rope swing, floating down the rapids,

and swimming with friends.

Ollala Lake, Toledo, Oregon

The Hamilton family went to the Lake for the day.

We had one boat, four float tubes, and one kayak.

The guys caught about 20 rainbow trout and boy were they delicious.

It was a perfect day. What a great view.

Dave is getting a little help with his fly fishing pole from Uncle Ernie.

I snuck in a picture of my PAPA.

Here's our Grace (from behind). She was having a good time swimming in the lake,

and wearing grandpa's hat.

We went back to my parents house for a big spaghetti dinner (yummy!). While we were their Reese Robert got to try on his tuxedo for the weddings. He was soooo cute. He gave us all the double thumbs up sign and said "Fancy Man." He is such a cutie.

I finally got to see and hold our new little man "Carsten Edward." What a beautiful baby, of course, I am just a little biased.
