Memorial Day Weekend...Sunday


Emma and I spent a lot of Saturday putting a puzzle together.  Marc decided to lend a hand on Sunday Morning.

We did end up completing it before starting our Sunday.  It was for ages 6+ but it was hard!

The boys went back into the mountains to see if they could find some mushrooms again (we came back empty handed the day before...sadly they didn't find any on Sunday either).


 
The girls and I stuck around with Beth. The kids found these adorable hats that Beth made and she said they could each have one. Then the girls found the yarn and suddenly special requests were made. Emma wanted pink; Olivia wanted purple. Beth finished Emma's before the boys got home and then worked on Olivia's.


 
While Beth finished the hat, we went out on the boat to do some fishing. Emma was super excited.


 
Marcus was too!


 
Uncle Carl showed the girls how to bait the hook while Marcus stuck with his Daddy in front.


 
Emma was serious about this fishing stuff. She claimed her pole right away and even reeled it in!


 
Olivia had a lot of fun and helped everyone. She was a little silly too.


 
Marc caught the fist (and only) fish. Marcus thought that was pretty cool and had no problem holding it for everyone to see. 

Another silly photo. Poor Marcus had a bit of a rough time on the boat. He just wanted to catch fish at a rapid pace and didn't like the waiting part...especially because he had to be quiet and not move around so much. It is pretty hard to be on a fishing boat at age 4.


 
Emma was a very patient fisherman though. She really wanted to catch a fish...I wish she would have...maybe next time!


 
We got back to the house and Marcus showed off the prize once again. A little side note to this post; we missed the duck races...we thought they were at 3pm but the ended up being at 1pm. Otherwise you would have seen the action there too. Oh well, next time.


 
The kids were ready for a fire so they helped with the fire wood. Here is Olivia's finished hat...so cute!


 
Such teamwork!


 
Time to roast marshmallows. By Sunday these kids were experienced!


 
Smores! Yummy!


 
Marcus was a little bit tired by this point.


 
Emma loves smores! We had a great time in Conconully. It was very relaxing...just what we needed this weekend. Hope everyone else had a nice Memorial Day too!
