RFL

Aahh, Red Fish Lake - it is really a magical place - once again the kids ran wild, we only saw them when they needed money for $1.00 ice cream cones or couldn't find their shoes, helmets, or bikes...again or just needed more Famous Amos Chocolate chip nasty cookies.


MIke and Dan paddleballing - a 300 hit record

nothing like some hot peanut butter on the hot beach

This is what my kids looked like the whole trip - Jane wouldn't keep her clothes on, Sierra got burned no matter how much sun screen I put on her, and Abby had that "I just bought the umpteenth rinky dink thing at the general store with my own money and I'm proud of it" look

The hike up to Saddleback lake -
cliff jumping rock - this year Dan tripped on his step off and did a total face/belly flop...scary - Abby gave into some major daredevil peer pressure from her cousins and jumped

This year the oldest kids did it with us - We told them if they complained, we'd hit them - so we heard a lot of panting, but no complaints from these cuties - and it's a hard hike~and we wouldn't really have hit them.

oh what a great trip...looks like so much family fun and I love that everyone made it, or at least it looked that way.

crazy pic with the lightning and kids playing in the water...maybe not the safest idea :)...ha ha.
