When we weren't eating or sitting on the beach, our two favorite Oscoda activities are fishing and canoeing! Bella got to be involved much more this year and really enjoyed going places with her cousins.
Grandma got Bella her own Princess fishing pole. She wanted to drag it with her everywhere, and was so excited to get to hold it on her own!
Uncle Matt, Grandpa, and Braden, walking to the Whirpool.
Learning the ropes from Daddy...
Worms!
Uncle Matt and Bella, reeling in a fish!
Bella didn't actually catch a fish on her own, but Uncle Matt and Grandpa let her reel in and touch the fish that they caught. She didn't know the difference!
Focusing on Grandpa while he unhooks the fish.
Braden caught a huge crawfish while we were thee, and Bella was pretty enamored by both of them - the crawfish and Braden!
Riding an old school bus to the canoe site.
I was actually pretty impressed by Steve and I's ability to row in sync this time! The last time we did this, we were almost divorced by the time we reached the end of the river. We stayed at a steady speed, weren't exhausted, and were able to enjoy the ride as went! Oh, and we didn't want to throw Bella overboard - winning!
This is my "I'm so artsy because I took a picture of my shoes and the canoe" picture. Aren't you impressed? I knew you would be.

Grandpa, Kelem, and Carter
Braden, Brycen, and Craig
Matt, Kaylie, and Maddie...brave, brave man!
Bella wanted to man the oars at least once, and she didn't drop it or hit me! She was super-proud!
We had so much fun on this trip and loved that Bella was old enough to come along and be involved! I was really proud of her on the canoe trip!
