Norris with the Fudges

We had a wonderful week at Norris Lake with Bebop, PopPop and the whole Fudge Family! While we were a little nervous about 6 kids until the age of 5, everyone had a lot of fun together and it was even easier than we expected. We have quite the crew of kids now and they all have a lot of fun together. Our weather was great - sunshine and warm days with a few cool nights that were perfect for S'Mores. Thanks for a great trip Bebop and PopPop. Lots of fun memories! Here are some of highlights of our trip:

We had one day that barely got into the 70's so we went on a hike in McCloud Mountain. It was a fun change of pace and a great day for it. Here are the big kids at the restaurant on top of the mouton.

Uncle Jason playing 'field guide' on our hike. He found a leaf bug and the kids thought it was so cool. Jordan made a field guide before we left with everything she wanted to see. We saw everything except a frog (but she caught a tadpole) and a moose (but we saw a buffalo).

Lucy slept through the family pick on top of the mouton
At the top of the mountain!

Sisters!

Silly time with Uncle Josh

Relaxing in the hammock

Grace and Peyton became little buddies on our trip. They played a lot together and had a lot of fun in their own little world.

Dinner at the campfire!


Tube rides for everyone….ok - so Grant and Lucy just hopped on for the picture, but the other four road all over the lake on this thing.

Lucy swimming in the lake with Daddy! She liked the water - not so much the vest.

Silly cousin buddies

Griffin and Jordan were pals the whole trip. They went on hunts together, played for hours in the lake together and even road off to their own "island" together. Pretty cute.

Finck family tube ride (don't worry - Lucy didn't actually get pulled behind the boat)

Girls bath time

Finck party of five - in the lake!

Nothing makes memories like giant Popsicles from the marina. 

Grant giving Lucy "kisses" (or trying to eat her - we're not sure which)

Hair style by Jordan. She was so proud of this special do.

More Popsicles at the marina while watching for the huge fish to come up.

Pop and his girls

Griffin and Jordan's "island" across from our dock. They could paddle over all by themselves and then spend hours going on "treasure hunts" and calling for food. Here they convinced Bebop and PopPop to bring them lunch on their island. 

Buddies singing to Grace's fish she caught in the bucket.

Hanging out dockside.
