we loaded up saturday evening & headed up the canyon (about 30 minutes from our house) & landed at buck's dubbed "holy hole". We set up the camper in 5 minutes & were on the river. I didn't get my gear out...i just wanted to take pics for the time being. Chloe started to find little baby "sea shells" & playing in the sand.
The girls' "houses" they set up the last time we were here, which was last summer, were still there!
They spruced those up & added a few features.
chloe being a total goon. this girl seriously cracks me up. it's like a constant comedy show with her! she's always so animated! love it!
and she is also his side-kick...these two could have their own comedy show.
chloe & i headed to the camper...she was tired of the sand & "beach"...
a storm brought us a pretty heavy rain, so we were stuck in the camper for a while. thank goodness i have a few games stashed in there. we all decided to play yahtzee.
and i'm so grateful for my new camera here because without the high ISO mixed with my nifty 50 lens...this shot wouldn't of been possible! :) happy, happy, joy, joy!!
chloe grew tired of yahtzee & decided to have her own game of poker with her stuffed animal friends.
once the rain stopped we took our firewood bundles & made a fire right on the rivers edge. the girls made smores. i don't have any pics though.
the next morning buck got up & fished...didn't really catch anything though. a few babies but nothing worth really bragging about. some much needed time with the river though. once back we packed up & headed to greek creek camp ground & ate/cooked some breakfast. chloe found some snails & was completely in awe of them. we put them in a plastic bowl & the girls helped with making them a "home". she carried them around for the remainder of the day...including them in all her activities. even her sister photo...
buck taught jordan how to fly fish.
chloe & brinley built wooden boats...
we really didn't have any success with any fishing but we did have a great time during the weekend spent together.
oh & this one especially...
good ol' sharpie!
i received a text from a great bestie friend, jill, a while back. she was telling me of this country song (which i don't listen to country hardly EVER!) called "she think's we're just fishing" & that it reminded her of buck & the girls. i finally heard it the other day for the first time...and it is EXACTLY like buck & the girls! that will be a scrapbook page! amazing what fishing does for the heart & mind!
