Summer Time Fun Pt. 2

 This is a post that should have happened back when it was warm and sunny, not with a cold front blowing through that threatens to freeze the snot (literally) every time you head outside.  I finally figured out how to get the pics that I have been whining and crying about!  This first one was a summer fave:  The Idaho grandparents bought a slip and slide for the slight incline in their backyard.  This was as close as Mr. C was willing to get to it.

 The other kids had no problems getting closer and enjoying.

And here is that fish pic from the 15 minute "let's see if this little fish pond really is free for kids" expedition.  This is why my oldest son is a fish whisperer.  They didn't bring very much gear, cast his rod 3 times, and he still caught a pretty little trout.  Too bad he and the others won't eat it.  Do you know how silly it makes you feel wrapping it up and putting it in the freezer, knowing you will be the Frozen-trout-thrown-in-the-trash Fairy that night? At least we didn't have to leave any money behind.
