California Houseboat Trip...

DJ clapped his feet since he was SOOO excited to get off the airplane! We got up at 5:30am Dallas time (2:30am CA time) ...and DJ DID NOT sleep AT ALL on the 3-hour plane ride! The poor man next to us had to put up with DJ's squirminess. I guess it could've been worse... he didn't cry thanks to the endless supply of snacks! Good boy DJ! We were so excited to see UncleTrina and Grammie pick us up at the airport!!!
We stopped to get some groceries... DJ was HUNGRY AND TIRED... then Grammie and UncleTrina saved the day with a sugar cookie in one hand and a french fry in the other!

After just a few minutes in the car... DJ passed out! He usually has two 2-3 hour naps a day.... are we going to make it through this week with little-to-no naps!?? :)

We ARRIVED to the houseboat on Lake McClure, California!! Just a 2.5 hour drive from the San Jose Airport... HAPPY 4th of July!
We all spent a LOT of time 'partying in the water'! All the cousins and 4 dogs!

Grammie and Grandpa watched us from the houseboat! :)

Here's DJ in his little raft behind the wakeboard boat.... "Hit it!"

I said HIT IT!

Merrily, DJ and I in the paddle boat... DJ LOVED kicking the water!

DJ's helping Uncle Jeff drive the boat!

DJ on flag duty.... wait, aren't you supposed to be 12 years old to do that!?
DJ LOVES Lambchop (Lammie)... the bulldog!

Lammie doesn't seem to mind DJ's 'LOVE'! xoxo
DJ LOVES his cousins too!!

Trent...
Natalie...
Nicole...
JC and Alex!











Cousins, Aunties and Grammies give DJ lots of attention and most importantly... FOOD! Food always makes DJ happy!



After a long day of playing... FINALLY... a NAP! Just a 30 minute nap... but I'll take what I can get... as these were few and far between on the house boat... too much to do!
THEN... came fishing... JC caught a catfish!










Nicole also caught a catfish!

Jeff caught a rainbow trout...

Katrina and three of the dogs caught a bass but the CHEAP line that came with the fishing pole broke. I saw it before it got away.... even if Jeff doesn't believe us! :)


Well... here we are, SAD day! :( All packed up... getting dropped off at the marina to get in the LT to drive to the San Jose Airport... IT WAS SO FUN!


DJ was fussy again... due to lack of sleep and hunger! (IMAGINE THAT!) so I gave him his snack cup that he can feed himself with.... he 'clearly' has HAPPY FEET! :)

This was the sunset the night we went back home to Dallas... Katrina said that she did a night swim watching the sunset.... awe man... wish I was still there! MISS THE LAKE ALREADY! :) Miss you guys too!
