The Aussie went fishing!

Talk about the most enjoyable weekend!

We stayed in the cabin in Overgaard again last weekend.

We packed up Luke's truck Friday morning

bringing our bikes and fishing poles.

The kids loved riding in the burley. It's pretty hilly around the cabin, so it made for great morning workouts. Especially for the one pulling the burley - Luke ;)

I don't think we can go on any vacation if there's not a swing around. Since we put a swing on our back patio when Miles was 6 months old, he's loved them. Even if he has to walk through the mud. Whee!

Masie sure loves her daddy. Aren't they both gorgeous? Masie crawling around the cabin. She was happy to find this table to crawl under and around like the one in our family room. Miles and Masie were both drawn to the stuffed bear in the corner. Miles kept giving him bear-hugs, and Masie felt nervous around him and always kept an eye on him.Fishing is serious business. Miles used his birthday Transformer fishing pole for the first time. It worked much better than the $30 pole I bought from Target.We caught one!!!Luke's first catch... ever!! Yes, even the puny ones count :) Masie! Please stop eating the plants!

Miles did NOT want to touch the fish. I haven't a clue what type of fish they were, but they were ugly and kind-of spiky. Just touch it Miles!

We finally got him to touch and hold it and he was only too happy to throw and release it back into the wild :)

YAY! He did it!... and please don't make him do it again. But we did. Luke caught 7 fish and every time we had to start the process all over again to get Miles to touch, hold, and release it. We're trying to toughen him up a bit :)

This was the "BIG" one :)

Then we stopped at Tonto Creek on our way home. Miles can throw rocks all day! Masie was happy to just chew on them and spit them back out.

Masie SO happy to sit next to Miles on the boulder. Hold on tight!
