My parents rented a house on Cascade Lake for Labor Day Weekend so this last week I crammed to get all my homework done so that we could leave at a good time on Friday... well that stupid math held me back & we didn't get up there until 11 at night. Grant took a long nap (longer than I usually let him because I needed to get my homework done) so he was wired & so not ready for bed when we got there. Him & I stayed up until 2 in the morning! He has an issue going to bed anywhere, but home because we've only left town overnight one other time so I wanted to make sure he was good & tired. I sent Joey to bed at midnight then we crawled in at 2 & it took a good half hour before Grant finally fell asleep.
My parents friends brought up there 4 year old grandson so the next morning they played & played while the guys fished then we all went to breakfast. I had the best eggs benedict ever! Anyway, after that we walked around the different shops then headed back to the house so grumpy pants Grant could take a nap. Everyone else went on my dads boat to fish & Joey & I had a huge battle getting Grant to finally sleep & we took a nap ourselves. That night was the first BSU game & luckily our friends Jason & Courtney were staying at a near by campsite & somebody brought up a tv to watch the game so we joined them. I didn't get to hardly even watch it (which is okay with me) because Grant was so busy finding sticks to put in the fire. We got back to the house at 1030ish & ended up battling with Grant for 3 hours to go to sleep. Ughhh.
The next day we were so tired that we decided it'd be better to just head home late that night. I made a big breakfast for everyone then we played at the lake & fished all day. Joey almost caught a huge trout, but as soon as he was about to pull it in, it got away! We seriously were about to give up since nobody had caught anything then my mom got all excited because she got one. She even stood up like it was some big fish & it turned out to be a tiny little perch. She put it back & cast again & boom caught another one. We're pretty sure she actually caught the same one twice in a row! lol After that we headed back to the house for dinner & had some really yummy elk burger. We let the boys wear eachother out some more while we packed up to go home. We knew we made a good choice when Grant passed out as soon as we hit the road & we got home in like half the time that we expected because there was no traffic. We finally all slept really good that night & it was nice to have Monday to catch up on everything to start a new week.
I'm a bad mom & left my camera in my purse all weekend then realized it the last day, but the battery needed charged so I only got a couple pictures of the boys playing! I'll load them on facebook soon. Its funny because Jet was 4 & was only like 2 inches taller than Grant. Gosh, I wish I could say he gets that height from me! lol
