Bass Lake

So back in July we took a family trip to Bass Lake. We were suppose to go to another place but due to a wild fire and asthmatic children, we had to change the plan at the last minute. We chose Bass Lake, we had never been before and wanted to try something new.

Due to lack of space, all the kids ended up in the back row..... two words, NEVER AGAIN!

The lake was amazing. Perfect temperature, clear and surrounded by trees.

This was something Landon enjoyed, bending over and getting his head wet.

Hannah, our first day at the lake.

These were the yummy Fudge Buckets that we had at the lake. Buckets full of ice cream...yum

This is Landon, apparently eating Peanuts...which is allergic to. It caused some serious panic in us. Luckily he did not have a reaction.

These are the happy kids right before Landon decided to lurch into the road in front of a truck... I pretty much lost it after that. Can we keep the near death expieriences to one per day?

This is the dear that found his way into our campsite and was eating some food he found. Brave little guy he was.

This is my super brave hubby looking for the spooking, creepy dear that came back for more food in the wee hours of the night. He is my HERO.

Can you find him?

One of our days at the lake we rented a boat for the day. This was so much fun. We had a blast, it seriously made our whole trip.

Me and Landon, getting ready for some tubing.

Little G didn't like tubing as much as she liked hanging out.

We found this nice little cove to dock and have lunch in. After the lunch the kids fed the ducks, bread and Doritos. The Doritos were not approved....for the record.

The kids were pretty excited to fish , they didn't catch anything, maybe because they didn't have hooks. Landon+hook= bad idea

Hannah finally got the courage to tube alone. She was awesome.

So Landon decided to give up naps while camping, as well as early bed times, he was a pretty tired guy. The whole trip he would complain, " Ma I wanna go home". At one point he stood at the van and looked at Grace and said, "Kiki, I wanna go home, open the door". Finally on the boat he was his happy, content self. He sat with Scott in the driver's seat. Eventually he couldn't keep his eyes open any more.

After our last tube run, I called out to Hannah in the water and told her that we needed to take the boat back. Full on sobs in the water, asking if we could buy a boat. When I replied, Yah, maybe someday, that wasn't good enough. She wanted a boat TODAY. Sorry kiddo, if only.....

That's it! We had so much fun, we went and had the best pizza for dinner and went and crashed at our camp site. We didn't make it to the fire work show on the lake, someday we will. This was definitely a new favorite for us. We will be back next year.
