NH Part 2

More fishing and boating today.

Ally was brave and took my fish off the hook.

Oops it dropped

But she helped it back into the lake

Then Ally hooked a big fish 

It was a catfish

And Becky was smug at the large bass she caught

Until she realized that it was large compared to the other fish we catch, but was actually about the size of her hand.

Cloey wasn't sure what to think about the fish.

But Cloey enjoyed canoeing again this year. 

It was a windy morning and the canoe wasn't really working out, so they switched to the 2 person kayak.

Much more successful and fun.  After boating we got cleaned up and went out to lunch and did some shopping.

Making flour at the flour store.

Ally started reading an autobiography of Gabby Douglas, the gymnast and couldn't put the hook down. It was great to see her engrossed and excited about reading.

At our next stop we saw the largest Kongs ever. I don't want to know what dog eats these. 

After shopping Ally wanted to make a gymnastics video. We brought her mat from home at her request. 

The video was gymnastics truth or dare. I wrote out several options for each and she had to do them. 

A truth was "what is your favorite gymnastics event" and a dare was "back walk over"

The hardest dare was to do a round off back handspring. It was phenomenal to see Ally go for it. 

She landed on her knees not her feet, but she tried it, and the grass was wet so hard to get good traction. 

After dinner more climbing took place on the climbing structure.

Hanging always brings a smile.

Ping pong time next!

Another great day.
