Ross Lake ... First Annual Dad & Daughter High Adventure!! (August 2017)

In 2017 we decided that the girls (Mae and friend) should have a High Adventure just like the guys! A plan quickly formed for the dads and daughters to travel around Ross Lake by Kayak for a few days.  

I think the plan was almost halted when Mae ended up with symptoms of Strep Throat just a few days before the scheduled departure. Fortunately, the initial culture ended up negative so they decided to push on through. Of course, a day or two later (when they were already long gone) the Drs. office called back saying the full culture did text positive. Oh, well. Too late!:-)

These two were pretty excited for the trip together. 

And this beautiful weather and scenery did not disappoint!

Even at night, Ross Lake is quite a sight.


Dad enjoyed spending time with this fun girl:)!


And they all had enjoyed playing in the gorgeous (but very cold) lake ...

Trekking around on the hiking paths ...

Trying to catch little critters ...

Relaxing in the hammock

And OF COURSE ... Fishing!!


... and eating the freshly-caught fish:). 


As always, it was quickly time to say goodbye. 

And Kayak back to the real world;). 

The real world does have perks though ...
Like greasy but delicious burgers and fries!!

Looks like the trip was a success!!

The question is ... will there be another one???

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
