Wrights Lake.

We spent another weekend day away from Sacramento trying to avoid the heat, but this time it was so Gregory and his buddy Ray could get in some fishing. We decided to make a little trip out of it, packed up both families and drove up to Wrights Lake (a little closer to Sacramento than Lake Tahoe). We took a picnic lunch and spent the afternoon splashing around, swimming, canoeing and fishing. The boys (Christopher and his friend Jake and Jake's baby brother Josh) had a blast in the water and Jake and Christopher got to enjoy a couple canoe rides while Josh stayed on land. They absolutely loved getting to swim in the lake and we had to drag them out of the water to take a snack break!

Gregory and Ray took the canoe for a while to fish and apparently found some trout. They caught a couple but came back only towing one because I think they threw the rest back.

All in all it was a great day and even though he's young, I hope Christopher will always remember spending time with friends at the lake!

Jaime took the boys for a walk.

Here's Christopher dressed in his cute little fishing outfit, even though he didn't get a chance to fish :(

Apparently they weren't wet enough, because the boys spent a lot of time watering the rocks.

Ray and Gregory out on the lake.

"Baby" Josh just up and stood up all on his own!

I think this was supposed to be a hug, but it looks more like a a headlock.

Jake about to make a splash. Not really, I think he was throwing rocks!

Here's baby Josh enjoying the water.

Here's Gregory and Ray when they got back from their fishing outing.

Dinner?

You can't tell, but we're really in the middle of the lake where we canoed out to!

Silly boys.

Anyone know what kind of animal this is? We were thinking it's a muskrat, but it's tail has fur on it. Plus, according the the department of fish & game, there aren't muskrats between Folsom and Lake Tahoe.
