Estacada Lake

One of Brandon's friends from work, Ray, offered to take our family out on his boat a couple of weekends ago.  It was spontaneous and not our usual jam but we decided to give it a try and had a great time.  A few weeks before this a group of guys from work had stopped by to drop off a few fish they'd caught and decided to give us a hard time by telling the kids that we'd bought a boat and that they were dropping it off.  Anyway the kids got so excited about it that Ray said he wanted to actually take them out for a ride.


We started with a little rock climbing and jumping into the lake.  The water was pretty cold but the kids had a blast and even Daddy and Ray jumped in once.





I was very relieved that these two little monsters didn't fight the life jackets because that would have been a real game changer.

Ray even let the kids drive and use the horn.




He also brought a big bag of snacks which the kids loved.

Just before lunch we stopped and through some lines in the water.  Hazel was the only one to catch a fish and she was as entertaining as ever.






Ray grilled us hot dogs for lunch.

We wrapped the time up with a little more swimming and jumping and then it was time to load up before we lost the babies.

Thankful for these fun memories and a day on the lake with this not so little family of ours.
The kids already want to know when we can do it again.
