Visiting Ba and Poppy at Black Lake

Mommy had her ACLS class Wednesday, so JB headed to Black Lake with the kids to see his parents at their cottage. He packed enough food and games for a week, despite their up-and-back-trip.

Ba had the pool out for some swimming.
Black Lake is not really a swimming lake.
At least not where they are located.

Posing with Poppy.

A boat ride!!

When they started their ride, Skeezix started shouting, “Faster Daddy! Faster. Why aren’t we going faster?!!” Daddy answered, “Because I am rowing.” He had to get them out of the weeds before he could get the motor going.

For a ride in Poppy’s boat.

The girls playing checkers with Ba.

Mid-day break with VeggieTales.

Fishing buddies.


Look at what Champ caught.


Beau got one, too.
I won’t tease JB about how difficult it is to see the fish with the way Beau is standing.
I am just beyond thrilled he took the camera AND USED IT a lot!!

Even Skeezix got one.
Yes, Daddy let her have a hook.
Brave man!!
