FINALLY, my #1 Blog Fan will be excited to see that I have FINALLY posted pictures from our very fun Long Barn 4th of July Weekend! We had a great weekend with my entire family!
A definite highlight to our weekend was the Twain Hart 4th of July Parade. Uncle Steve entered his jeep into the parade for the first time and made sure he had the cutest FLAG WAVERS ride with him.
Tyler got to ride with Uncle Steve from Long Barn down to Twain Hart. What a fun experience for Tyler!!! This Jeep is extra special because it is from Steve's Grandpa. Then Steve in honor of my Grandpa painted his WW2 numbers on the front of the jeep.
"Bird hunting" first thing in the morning....
Lots and lots of swimming
On our way to the parade we went to a Pancake Breakfast at Miwuk's Firehouse.
4th of July Night - We head to Pinecrest Lake to watch the animated movie UP at their outdoor theater.
FISHING WITH THE FISH HEADS!
We love fishing at the Twain Hart Ditch. Everyone was able to catch at least ONE fish this time!
The funny story about fishing this year - Uncle Steve sent out an email saying to bring POWER BAIT, SALMON EGGS and WHITE GRUBS for bait. About 1/2 throught our Fishing Adventure I realize that our Uncle Steve isn't using any of that bait - he brought SPINNERS! No wonder he was catching so many fish. I guess the pressure is really on to catch the 1st fish and the most fish when you are a Fish and Game Warden!!!
CLEANING AND GUTTING THE FISH...
Uncle Steve is a really good teacher. Two summers ago he taught Tyler how to Clean and Gut fish for the Fishing merit badge he was earning for Scouting. Now Jake is earning his Fishing Merit Badge and it is his turn to learn how to Clean and Gut a fish (I should say, he's been a pro at chopping off their heads for years)!
Fish Fry and Dutch Oven Cooking in the Marino Family Cabin!!!
Another part of the Fishing Merit Badge is cooking the fish you caught. Thanks to Aunt E for teaching Jake FISH FRYING techniques!
Tyler's Dutch Oven BBQ Chicken...
Devin's Dutch Oven Potatoes (well, really Tyler and I did all the CHOPPING for this)!
