Fishing, creeking, & camping

We are so glad to finally have Daddy home for vacation!

Our first item on the agenda was to go fishing.

Tim absolutely loves to fish.

He's still trying to teach the kids!

They really do enjoy it though!

We went to Lake Atalanta in Rogers.  

We saw catfish, bass and blue gill and caught some blue gill.

We saw geese, ducks, scissor-tail flycatchers and other random birds too.

It was very peaceful early in the morning.

(side note- C has finally learned to put her own hair in a pony tail really good!  Yay!)

We fished for 3 1/2 hours!

We were starving so we headed downtown and ate at Lucy's Diner.

It was SO GOOD.

Tim had hamburger steak and I had breakfast (pancakes, eggs & bacon).

I love good old fashioned cooking!

There is a playground and a nice creek at Lake Atalanta.

We headed back to let the kids play in the creek for awhile.

They had a blast exploring and splashing!

We came home and all took naps.

And we decided to camp in the backyard!

And have a fire with roasted marshmallows and s'mores!

RIP chocolate Easter bunny.

The kids had so much fun.

I love watching them make memories!

 Our air mattress lost half of it's air during the night and the birds are SUPER loud first thing in the morning, but Tim made pancakes with fresh strawberries on top and coffee!
