Big Lake- Day 3 & 4



Day 3 was Sunday, and we have a no fishing rule on Sunday. (Nearly killed Chasetin cause he STILL hadn't caught a fish!


My face here says "Um... I think there is a weight limit on this thing!!!"
 
We lounged around all day, and then in the afternoon did a scavenger hunt, I found it HERE. It was so stinking fun!  We paired up and then headed into the forest.  My “treasure not on the list” was an old pair of fishing shoes. Scott’s was an old tent. Conveniently,  the tent was really beat up, but it’s poles were in perfect condition and the same size as ours.  We were missing one right over where the kids were sleeping and so we popped it right in.    I was also lectured by all parties involved that we cannot find an ACORN here because we don’t have oak trees. Honestly, that never even crossed my mind!

After the scavenger hunt, it started raining. And it didn’t stop till the middle of the night. That’s what was kindof funny about Scott finding that tent. I would have potentially had 3 wet little ones if we hadn’t found that extra pole. “The Lord shall provide” became our theme of the day!
This child could have colored Dora ALL DAY!
After about an hour of rain (and being confined under our tarp) we decided to go for a drive. We found some deer out enjoying the rain. 
 
And then we drove over to Black River to see the destruction of last years “Wallow Fire”  it was very sad to see how much was burned, but also promising to see how much has already started to grow in just a years time. 



Stay tuned for Day 4... It's a good one:)

That treasure hunt sounded fun. Wish we could have been there to enjoy it with you.

I love all the pictures. You really know how to camp. Wish we did, all we do is work.
