WW: lighted boat parade

We are back in action with the lighted boat parade!

Earlier fishing...

Some how blogger ate my post...so here it is again.

You all will be seeing lots of older pix that never got posted now as

my computer has decided that it does not want any more picutres in it...

so I can not download any.

Here is hoping for some good black friday sales to get me a new, fancier one!

Wish us luck or I may never get to update the blog.

Anyway, these shots were taken a few weeks ago at Lake Chabot,

where we continue to have no luck.

I really think that they are not stocking the lake, but just telling us that they did!

But it is a beautiful fall morning!

And my husband was determined to catch a fish.

My brother has fished here all his like, and I don't think he has ever caught anything!

I like that I get to sit down and read a magazine for a bit in between feeding the boys pirate booty and...

The world's best breakfast sandwiches made by my husband!

Delicious egg, bacon and cheese!

WW: CA fall beauty

I must say that Arnold, CA was beautiful!

The reflection in the water was amazing!

Happy WW!

Random fishing

Luke has the most energy and enthusiasm of any boy I know.
He doesn't take to fishing too well, because he has lots to do.
Swinging on fences.

Watching Daddy bait the hook.

More hook baiting...
Boys are pretty good at losing their worms.

Jack fishing on a rock.

And Luke giving fishing a try, again.
He does love to cast!
And he is pretty good at it!

Fishing in Arnold

We spent the long weekend up in Forest Meadows with Auntie Kate and Uncle Bill.

We fished for 2 days.

On both sides of this lake.
The first day was a bummer...

But it sure was beautiful!

The next day proved to be much, much better.

Loren finally caught not just one trout, but 3 trout!
He was ecstatic!
And we went home and cooked them up for dinner...along with a nice pot roast.

Unfortunately, the boys didn't catch anything...and they lost interest in fishing pretty early on.
Luckily, this lake had lots of fun places for the boys to explore.
And, I got to read a magazine!

Monarch butterfly field trip

I got to go on Jack's field trip to Natural Bridges State Park to see the butterflies!

He really could have cared less that I was there...he had fun with his friends!

So I got to do some socialized with other parents.

It was very nice.

And, I learned a lot about these amazing Monarchs!

I can tell a boy from a girl, and that they only eat milkweed  and who new that hey shed there skin 4 times before becoming butterfly!

It was a beautiful day!

Natural Bridges

Hard to see them, but they are in there.
The kids had fun looking,

WW: playdate # 2

The second play date of saturday was an afternoon/evening.
5 boys!

The oldest was a bit bored...

And then we did make your own pizza....
It was yummy!
Craziness until movie time, but lots of fun.
And our neighbors will watch ours next time!
