Tim's Uncle Royal has a lake house at Twin Lakes, near Inchelium, WA. There is no cell service, or internet for that matter and so we were completely unplugged (sorry for the scare dad...note to self, when you leave on vacation, give your family a heads up).
We spent most of our time on the lake...riding the boat, playing near the shore, or fishing off the dock. In fact, I don't think we did anything else. :) It reminded me a lot of my childhood and the time we spent at Lake Chelan. I was so thankful to be able to share that with my kids. A huge THANK YOU goes to Uncle Royal and Aunt Kitty for their generosity!
Avarie told me that "from now on, I need a ponytail on the boat"
Our trusty guide.
Royal and Kitty had this family of bears that sit outside the front door of the house. Lylah LOVED these bears. She would tell them "good night", "hello", and pretty much hold long conversations with these bears. It was so very sweet.
TJ is a born fisherman. He spent EVERY waking moment on the dock or begging Papa to take him on the peddle boat or the motor boat. He ended the time there with 5 fish he caught on his own.
Avarie helped real in 4. She loved the fishing, but was less enthused by the actual fish.
This bird... he would sit in the trees above the dock and wait...
The first fish that TJ caught as he was reeling in, this bird dive bombs his fish and TJ and the bird fight over who was taking that fish home. NO JOKE! TJ won, but that bird waited there all night for another fish to steal.

Nanny would sit up at the house and watch with Lylah.
TJ and Avarie's haul the first night.
TJ decided we should use 2 different chains after that to keep track of whose fish was whose.
