Sierra and I are on a California summer vacation right now, while work has taken Cole to the east coast! Within our Cali vaca we have had several mini trips! This weekend we made a special trip up to my family's cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains between Bishop and Mammoth mountain. Trips to this region and to the cabin were a part of my family's yearly travels for over 20 years now. At special request Papa and Grandma were able to arrange for a weekend getaway! And even better... my life long girlfriend, Courtney, and her daughter got to come along! Court and I go back to the days in the womb with our parents in the same lamaze classes!!! We are only nine days apart and grew up only a block apart. Now we have little girls just over a year apart. It was so wonderful to get to spend time together and to see our daughters play together as we once did! They busied themselves playing doctor, little mommies, princess, and pretend fishing. They loved to go on walks and hikes around the cabin... and then there was the highlight of the trip... Fishing in Papa's boat!!!
Courtney, Davery, Katie, and Sierra
Papa got the boat all ready and set out with all four of us gals on board... brave man!
We headed to Gull lake... a family friendly lake that wasn't too big and had a play ground just in case the girls needed some extra distraction!
All ready to go... they were such good sports with their life jackets despite the heat... they were both so sweaty when we took them off at the end!
Our Captain all ready to go! The girls later called him the doctor for helping take care of the fish and to get the hooks out of their mouths... if only they knew how he had to doctor them up once on land! ;-)
First line in the water and not five minutes later... we had a fish! Court was excited!!!! And it caught the girls attention and kept them interested!

Well that post title definately made me look twice! Glad you are having fun!! Looks beautiful there!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! And how amazing to have a family cabin in that area. We just got back from around there and just love it. I love that you took Sierra fishing! Some of my earliest memories are lake fishing with my parents.
