Show Low (aka The Mountain)

We stopped on the way up & got pictures by monster mountain (what Laun called it as a kid).

 

That night we went to the Larsen’s house.

Porter’s hair was already buzzed super short, so Uncle John went ahead & bicced it.

 

Porter was so excited & now he & John have matching noggins.

 

Today we went fishing & played in the water at Show Low Lake. Marlee was snacking on the boat.

 

Laun took our kids & two of the Larsen boys. I kicked it on shore with Jeff & Lucy (we enjoyed a quiet lunch).

 

Marlee loves anything near the water.

 

The boys did some fishing.

 

Lucy & Jeff

 

These two are always so cute together.

 

Laun caught a creature for Marlee.

 

She was super excited to show Grandpa & Grandma.

 

Bullfrog tadpole- which was soon put back in the water.

 

Alden, Laun & Marlee

 

Alden & Porter were on a mission to find crawdads.

 

I love the reflection of the water on Porter’s face.

I love Porter’s intensity.

 

Alden’s catch-

 

Marlee must be thinking about something important.

 

 

Daddy’s little girl

 

The water was pretty cold, but that didn’t stop the boys (Michael, Clayton & Porter) from jumping in.

 

The kids had such a great time. The only part they spent away from the water was when they stopped for lunch.

 

Luckily I remembered to bring a change of clothes for the kids. We stopped by Cooper’s grave on the way back.

 

The rose bush was in bloom.
