Frogs, Fishing, Bikes and Fun

 

The boys had fun searching for frogs.

 

They stopped for just a moment so I could get a picture.

 

Yep...they found some frogs!

 

Marcus did a little more fishing.

 

Emma and Daddy watched.

 

Olivia got another one!

 

A little Mommy, Daddy time.

 

Nice one Olivia.  This was the best place for these kids.  There was no time to get bored the way these fish bite.

 

They loved every minute of it.

 

The lake was so beautiful too.

 

Olivia got a kick out of the frogs too.

 

She kept saying she was babysitting them for the boys.

 

We did lots more bike riding.  The lake is in the back ground and yes, the road is white rock.  There is a quarry nearby where they mine this.

 

I do miss my camera for the automatic photos...so Olivia took this one.

 

And Emma took this...yes, these are all done with my phone; thank goodness for the phone.

 

Marcus and Emma went out in the boat with "Captain Steve" and Daddy.  Steve is the owner of the lake and land...the kids named him Captain during this little boat ride. 

 

We only brought 2 life vests for some reason so only 2 kids could go out at a time.

 

Olivia and I decided to do some more bike riding.  We rode to one end of the road.

 

This is a picture of the lake with the campers in the background.

 

We road to the other end of the road and stopped for some selfies...one silly face...

 

And a sweet little kiss from Olivia.

4-Wheeler

 

Cruz brought his 4-wheeler along so the kids got to try it out.  Marcus loved this!

 

Olivia was a natural at this too.

 

Emma thought it was a blast.

 

They all took turns riding along a track...Ryan was at one end and Marc was at the other.  Ryan gives Marcus a little fist pump...great job kids!

 

Of course all three of these kids want a 4-wheeler now.

Ryan Lake

 

We were invited to Ryan Lake which is owned by some good friends of ours.  We started fishing the minute we got there...go Marcus! 

 

Nice fish!

 

The lake was filled with fish and they were biting. 

 

Emma got one!  We tried to get a picture with it but it slipped out of her hands and away it went.

 

Olivia did amazing.  She was really a natural.  She loved this!

 

Sisters.

 

Cuties

 

It was a private road too so the kids could ride their bikes and we didn't have to worry about any cars hitting them.  This was a kids dream place for sure.

 

Marc even tried fly fishing...I bought him the pole for his 30th birthday...13 years ago...this is the first time he's used it!

 

Emma caught another fish before the first night ended and we got a quick picture.  Nice one Emma!

School Carnival

 

The PTO had a carnival as a fundraiser this year.  They had some cool stuff to do.  Marcus took a turn in the wrestling ring.  I wasn't even sure he could pick one of these up!  Strong boy!

 

He fought his friend, Ryder.  Oh...Marcus takes one to the face!

 

Honestly I don't know how this kid doesn't get hurt.  Sadly this one ended with Ryder hitting his nose on Marcus' head and there was blood...Oergel's have hard heads for sure! 

 

Lexie got her face painted...isn't it pretty!

 

They had all kinds of inflatable toys!  Weee...

 

Ryder ended up being OK...few!

 

Twin match!

 

Emma wins the first round.

 

Back at it again.

 

Olivia's determined this time.

 

Oh no!

 

Emma's the champion.  Great match girls!

 

They even had the hammer game.  Emma needs a little more power.

 

Olivia gives it a try too.

 

Marcus showed his sisters how it's done.

 

They even had golf...but it wasn't for lefty's so Marcus had a little trouble.

 

Olivia did pretty well for a lefty.

 

Emma did very well...it was made for her.

 

 

What a great event!  Fun was a had by all!  Hope the school made a ton of money!
