Hat Creek Day 6 & 7

The next morning, which also happened to be the 4th of July, Nick had much better luck. He caught two fish in about 15 minutes!!

Nick wanted me to point out that this is a picture of the smaller of the two. I didn't see it, but he claims that the larger fish took three people to reel out of the water, then four people to carry it back to camp, then seven frying pans to cook it. The claims didn't stop there but I will. Either way, it was tasty!

Then we were off to see the local 4th of July festivities! But, they had decided to celebrate on the 5th. So we went to this antique store/junk yard for a while.



then back to camp to try to finish the puzzle before the last day.

Hannah was sweet enough to let Charlotte paint her fingernails. I think a few of the girls let Charlotte paint their nails because a little while later Hannah and Elena drove back to town to buy nail polish remover! Thanks for letting Charlotte have so much fun girls!!

The next day we got to watch the parade before we went home.

It was cute and very small.

This is everybody (minus my sisters)





Nick, wondering how he is going to get all of this back into our van.

After we finally got packed we drove back through town to eat pizza for dinner, then started the long drive back. No one was excited to go home, not even Desi without her cell phone reception! We are all looking forward to going again in two years!!

I have enjoyed seeing all of your cute pictures from your trip, it looks like you guys had a blast. Love Elsie's cute little 4th of July outfit. And can I just say I was bustin up about your explanation of Nick's fish - that is sometimes how I feel about Spencer and his stories! ;)
