1967 is believed to be the first year that began our annual family tradition at Bass Lake. It is always a wonderful trip filled with many wonderful memories and this year was no exception.
The boys were counting down the days and when the morning finally came, they were so excited to help load the car!

Gavin and Carson gathering the blankets
Looks like Hendrix has Dads toothbrush... Lets Go!
Carson had been wearing these goggles around the house for a week before Bass Lake and was thrilled to wear them in the lake.
He was comfortable on the stairs and went up and down for hours. You've gotta love this cutie in his turtle goggles!

Sunset boat ride to Millers Landing to get ice cream. It was a beautiful night!
We didnt get the mac and cheese but we did get a $5 loaf of bread to feed to the geese that were surrounding the boat. The geese were eating out of the kids hands... and hissing at them at the same time. Yikes!

Millers sells a few small convenience items and Carson decided he wanted macaroni and cheese and stuck this in my purse while we were ordering dessert. I was almost a shop lifter! So cute though.
