Hill Billy Golfing...
A trip to Iowa is not complete without a game of good old Hill Billy Golf. If you aren't sure what it is follow the link or maybe you've heard it as one of it's many other names Ladder Golf being the most popular. Jesse loves this game and always asks about playing it. Maybe someday when we have a yard of our own we'll make our own Hill Billy Golf set and invite you all over for a game.
Our Cabin...
The cabin we called home for a week Hawk's Roost.
You might have noticed that Chelsey is absent from these photos. She had to go home early on Tuesday afternoon due to a special training at work on Wednesday. Jesse had to leave early as well, but he didn't leave until Wednesday around noon. We were glad that Jesse and Chelsey got to come, but it was nice having a few days just the 4 of us again too.
More fishing...
Blue Heron
We were certainly not alone in our fishing efforts. We saw quite a few large blue heron out and about. They love to eat trout as much as the rest of us do. They're really beautiful to watch & their very skilled at fishing.
Balance Beam.
Jesse and I were walking along one side of the water when suddenly the terrain became impossible. We had a decision to make. Find away across or hike backwards and cross where we originally did. Jesse decided we could make it across by balancing on this fallen tree. Yikes! Well he did and I followed and I'm proud to say neither of us fell in.
Cave exploration.
Along the path I saw a sign for a cave and no one else seemed interested so I went off and explored it myself. I didn't go too deep inside as I was alone and not to interested in getting hurt or lost in the dark.
The fisherman.
Jesse had crazy good luck on his final day of fishing. He caught more than anyone else and even exceeded the legal limit by 1 fish, but we said we would cover for him since the rest of us were slacking in our efforts. If you can't tell he was totally giddy, like through the moon excited. I'm glad the fishing license as part of his birthday gift really paid off.
Cleaning up.
After catching all those fish Jesse was so excited that he even learned how to and helped clean them. He and mom enjoyed trout for lunch that day too. Which is all Jesse said he wanted. If he caught it he wanted to eat it. I think he had a good vacation and a great birthday.
