Eat and be Eaten; Chronicles of the Lake

We went to Lake of the Woods on Saturday with our friends the Appah's and Garcia's. I have a feeling this is going to be a recurring theme of posts of pictures down by the lake this summer.
I had this problem when I was a full time scrapbooker too, just how many pages of the kids at the zoo do you actually do (ha ha that rhymed) for one year?
The answer I came up with was, as long as each time you tell a different story, you can do as many as you want.
So here is the first installment of Chronicles of the Lake entitled Eat and be Eaten.
The eat part...
We ate.
Lots of chips, hot dogs and soda.
The eaten part...
We got bit by the thousands of mosquito's that were hanging out by the lake.
Remember next time: bring some heavy duty bug spray.
So, see? We learned a valuable lesson, that hopefully we will remember on Wednesday when we head to the lake again!
Now onto the picture portion of this chronicle.
Bekah with her sassy new haircut...
Bekah actually in the water, past her ankles-this is a huge accomplishment people.

Christopher's favorite part of the day was the soda-it's not a treat he ever gets, so he drank up.

He really really loved it.I'm not sure if Paxton loved anything there-he was in a bad mood, but I caught this sweet moment of peace-isn't he one of the most handsome little boys on the planet?
The bigger kids stayed in the water most of the day with their friends...

Zachary and Parker played with this log and pushed the girls out of their tubes, you know, just being obnoxious boys.

These 3 girlies are so pretty, no wonder the boys love to tease them!
And these 2 stinkers-

Porter had to be held constantly or he would eat dirt and rocks, and Chad caught a crawdad and brought it home...

For a pet...

To hang out with our goldfish.

I guess boys just never grow up....

So that was our exciting day 1 at the lake this summer, come back later this week for more water, sunburns, junk food and pretty much all the excitement you can possibly muster for such an awesome family activity.
