Another Trip to Burke Lake

Living so close to Burke Lake has been such a plus for us. Not only have Pete and Grandad enjoyed the numbers of caches around the lake but the kids love to walk the trails and go down to the water too. One day we decided to head on out for a little trip to the water and Kylee packed up her backpack (and "friend Doggy") with all of her essentials: binoculars, magnifying glasses, snacks, and apple juice.

Along the way we caught sight of a frog. The kids were amused as it hopped across the path (to get away from us) and into the plants. They got to really see him up close and loved it. Pete tried to get him back out to say hello but he seemed to want to stay away from us. : )

Ryland has become a HUGE fan of throwing things into the water. Kylee always loved this too (and still does) but Ryland really has no fear when he is on his mission of getting as many things into the lake as he can. Rocks, sticks, mulch ... it all goes right to the water.
