Blanchett Park

I wrote a blog post a few years ago about the "Man Trip" where me and Kaylee tagged along with the boys to Blanchett Park in the Winter.  You can find it here if you'd like to revisit it but lets just say it wasn't the most enjoyable time I've ever had.  Since we went to Blanchett Park the first time, I've been telling Jake I would like to go back in the summer.  Well, we finally went back with Cory & Elisha and their family. 

So much fun!  It's a long rocky road getting there but once you get there, its so pretty and we had a really good time.  The kids got to go on a little 4-wheeler ride, went fishing and we had a little lunch up there.  This fishing adventure was much more successful than the last - Kaylee and Jake actually caught a fish on her Barbie fishing pole!

The fish!  It was small but still exciting!

 Before you get to Blanchett Park, there's a little area where Jake and his brothers used to go camping with their dad.  Their dad had been going there for years and he put up this sign that says "Jeff's Park".  The picture below is the sign, it's really hard to read because it's been there for over 40 years or so. Its kind of surprising that the sign is still there after so many years.  It was pretty neat to walk around up there because this place brings back a lot of fond memories for Jake.

Needless to say, this trip was much better than the "Man Trip"!!
