My sister Lara was in Utah for a girls only weekend , so Lara's Husband Lee and I decided to take the kids to his family cabin for the weekend in Christopher Creek, Arizona. Shannon had her own vacation at home without any kids. This is the crew with the cousins Ethan and Bryce.
We played old fashioned baseball with a bat made from a tree limb. The first limb was a little weak. I pitched, Adam hit it, the tree limb broke in two and the broken part of the bat hit me in the stomach. Adam thought that was
hilarious and the best part of the trip.
We went fishing twice. The first time, Morgan and her
cousin Ethan caught fish. The second time we were skunked. Even though we could see the fish in the stream, they just looked at our bait and turned away. They were so close that if we had a fishing net we could have just scooped them out. After Morgan caught her fish and pulled it out, she ran screaming into the woods, because she "didn't want to touch it." Unfortunately, she is all girl! With no one willing to eat the fish, it was catch and release. We also visited the fish hatchery. The kids were amazed at the thousands of fish!
Here is Lee and Bryce. Bryce lived off
Cheetos, cookies and S
tarbursts! Bryce kept things real. We were constantly trying to figure out what Bryce wanted. Lee and I wondered how Lara does this every day! We probably undid in 2 days, all the parenting Lara has done in 2 years. This was our philosophy, if it kept him happy, he got it!
