Fish Trap 2012

Once again we have trapped by Fish Trap Lake. We spent the weekend of July 12-15th at Mark and Margs cabin. Fish Trap weekend has become a weekend we look forward to every year. The family has created a general plan for what activities are done year after year. Here is a "glimpse" of the schedule.

Thursday Evening: Chill out
Friday: Golf Scramble, lake, tubing, boating, fire talk, fishing, garage sales, baseball games, swimming
Saturday: Bean Bag Tourney, Paddle Board tourney, volleyball, none athletic scavenge hunt, fire talk, fishing,  swimming, tubing, skiing, knee boarding, baseball games
Sunday: Bags tourney, pizza, turtle races

Things to remember about this years event: dan losing his glasses in the lake (2nd year in a row, last year Michael), the talks around the fire (many, many in depth topics are covered), audrey jumping off the dock with life jacket on, but no one around, ella, eddie, hayden tubing, the delicious meals, the fish catching at night, garage sales were not good this year, Cathy's birthday party surprise and the diapers, the spray painting of the diapers, emily and her audio tape, and the scones.

I love watching all of the little cousins interact. Heck it's even fun to watch the older cousins interact, it puts me in awe how much this group of cousins truly enjoy every minute they have together and find a way to enjoy each other but yet be competitive in games with each other! This group of family always reminds me how lucky I am to have found this other family though my husband...on my own side I have such wonderful role models...but I've even been blessed with more positive role models who I have learned so much from. I always leave these family functions with great advise to try add to my own life. Not that anyone says I need to do things differently, but I just listen to others and I want to take things from others and apply to our lives.

Here are a few of the 500 pictures we have from the weekend.
