March Break

Getting wood....... one of Shayla's favorite past times.

Here Gavin is feeding the fish chunks of stale bread.

This is the tank where the "teenager" fish hang out and grow bigger. There is a special name for all different ages of fish which Shayla knew as she was studying the fish life cycle in school, however, I simply called them "teenager" fish as I have no idea about the stages of fish development

After several gutterballs, shayla tried the "two-handed-between-the-legs-lob" and was quite successfull!

Now that we (a.k.a the "Staples geek squad") have recovered some of our pictures since the crash, we will try to catch everyone up on what has been going on in our lives. Gavin and Shayla (a.k.a shifty) came out for a visit during spring break. some of our activities included a tour of the fish hatchery (were they grow the fish that they restock the lakes with every year) and bowling. We even picked up some firewood along the way (much to Shayla's disapointment) which Daryl had cut and left in the bush in October. We were actually out looking for game to show the kids, when he remembered he had left it to dry. Sadly, all we saw that day were deer, nothing more interesting, as the bears were sleeping that time of year and the elk were all bedded down that time of day. We also had a chance to go up into the bush with Rylan (cousin) and we rode their families quad, roasted smokies and shot the pellet guns.
