The second day at the lake was packed with fishing!
I started my day with running. Of course. Only 2 miles. The hills were brutal. Paul made me feel better telling me it’s harder to run in higher elevation. Okay, sure. 🙂
For breakfast we had mascarpone cheese pancakes and fruit. Due to being a crazy year, this was our first camping trip out with the trailer. I didn’t take inventory of what we needed before we left, we just packed what we needed and left. So today we found out we didn’t have cups or forks. The only cups we had in the trailer were mini dixie cups. 🙂
It was a great day to be out on the water.
Captain Eli! This was his highlight. He was constantly asking to steer the boat. And we were constantly asking him to turn away from the bank, other boaters, and to slow down! He kept cranking up the speed every chance he got.
When Eli wasn’t captain, this is where we found him. Hanging over the side playing with the water.
This is where you found me. Reading and snacking.
Eli caught his first fish!
After a few hours in the boat, he really wanted to get out and swim. He didn’t last that long. It was a nice day out, but the water was freezing!
That evening we had tin foil dinners. LOVE them. They are tasty and clean up is the best! Eli thought it was funny to put our food in the fire and then actually eat it! We had salmon, squash, mashed potatoes, and monkey bread. This is the first time I did bread in foil and it worked! It was a little toasty on the bottom, but that was easy to scrape off 🙂
Apple crisp for dessert. This is also a first for me. It turned out pretty good! We definitely will be doing this one again.
Not only was it tasty, but it was a bribe to get Eli to finish his squash. 🙂
That evening, Paul taught Eli how to fly fish. Listen to that laugh. We have such a cute little boy!
