Iron River 2012

This year we took the long route just to go by Black River Falls and get Dallas' picture in front of the moose.

 



Here's Ty's first catch of the year, which he caught completely on his own.

Stories at Nap time

 



This year the Olympics were on, so here's Ty doing his pommel horse routine the night we watched the men's gymnastics competition.

 



This bass is one that I hooked and let Ty land.  So right as we were taking this picture I told Ty it was a picture of our "team effort" fish, and he said, "Daddy, look at our Team Pteranodon fish (from Dinosaur Train).  The next picture is of me laughing uncontrollably.

 

Here's Dallas' first solo catch of the year.  He wouldn't hold it though, so Ty's doing the honors.

 

Justin's FIRST muskie of 2012.  He caught 2 this year.  Both at night.  It was a good year!

Justin caught this snapping turtle out in the middle of the lake.

The boys spent a LOT of time playing in the dirt.  Which was unfortunate because there was no washer at our cabin, and somehow I managed to forget to pack a whole stack of shorts for both of them, so they were limited on clothes this year.  I ended up having to go to the second hand store in Iron River and get them some shorts and pants.
