Weekend Getaway!!

We went up to the cabin in Big Bear this weekend. We did lots of fishing, lounging, eating, and more fishing. David got a float tube for his birthday which is used for fishing (it's kind of like a little boat with a built in seat. It has a place for his fishing pole, his tackle box, and a place for all the fish he catches). All he has to do is put the fins on and kick his way out to the middle of the lake cast and catch. David and Ryley were true fishing partners this weekend. Dave did get to go out on his own, but we didn't dare tell Ryley daddy was going fishing. Dave and Ryley would get up early and go fishing, come back and go back out again. Kai and I went with them in the evenings. I love to fish too, but with the baby it's just easier for us to watch at this point. There were so many down pours with lots of lighting and thunder while we were there. Ryley was really afraid of the loud thunder. Her daddy told her that the clouds are just talking to one another! It was pretty cute!Kai's must have! She couldn't stop touching the fireplace utensils.
Ryley always climbing, picking, and getting right down dirty!

Ryley loves the swing in the backyard of the cabin! Thank goodness she can do it all by herself.

Ryley caught a small catfish :)

Dave caught a craw daddy! We took it back to the cabin and cooked and ate it! It was sweet just like lobster... He also caught lots of small fish he released...to be caught at a later time!!!
