Campfires, critters, and the lake

We took another trip to the cabin this week!  Just our little family.  John has several days off, so we enjoyed three days at the cabin.  One day was spent at the beach at Raystown Lake.  

 There were lots of tree snails this time.  The boys found one big empty one, and one big live one.  Bottom right are the boys waiting for "Dave" the snail to emerge.  They waited for a long time, he finally peeked out and after we all went into prepare dinner he came out and climbed under the arm of the chair.  

 The view from our fire pit.  I love this view.

 1. The boys relaxing with Daddy while cooking dinner
2. Landon and daddy being twins. I didn't even tell them to sit the same.
3. Will giggling about a moth
4. The white blur on his arm is the moth.  They found a broken moth that was fluttering everywhere.  Will was able to get him to climb up on him repeatedly.  
5. Cooking our tin foil dinners.

 The dog found a turtle next to the cabin, he really wanted to eat it.  John rescued the turtle and brought him inside to meet the boys.  Will wasn't too sure about him, but we got Landon to touch him.

Beach day!  We enjoyed the day.  We spent three hours in the sun and sand and "waves".  The boats on the lake do make a wake so there are little waves, which made Will unsure about the whole experience.  Will just sat on the beach most of the time, digging in the sand and relaxing on the towel.  A real beach bum.  Landon surprised us by going in the water up to his armpits, even without a parent around!  Brave move for that kid!  He found a little girl next to us with beach toys he thought were pretty cool.  The two of them played together until she found someone her age, she was older than him.  He was a little upset when he was ditched for older kids, but he still enjoyed the water.  Everyone came home browned up, and ready for dinner, bath, and bed.  It was a good kick off to our little family vacation.
