 Matt's trout is jumping; can you see it? |
 It's very quiet when there are no kids around |
 Can't get Matt out of the river |
 Final catch of the day |
 Is this girl really 5 years old?! |
 Must be true if the cake says so |
 Daddy does the honors |
 She's either making a wish or visualizing her first bite |
 Kristina asks for a piece considerably bigger than her mom was expecting |
 Ready to chomp |
 I guess her wish came true! |

 "Hmm, what's the best way to stay cool in the summer?" |
 "Buzz cut!" |
 Bravely facing the clippers |
 "I suddenly miss my hair a little." |
 Matt is now an experienced barber |
 Sandwiches taste better with a buzz |
 Sandwiches also taste better on a lakeside log |
 Trying her luck with the trout at Tingley |
 Annie disappears when it's time for bed. This is where we find her. |
 It's Memorial Day, so we decided to set up a feast right next to the smoker. |
 It's always a good time in the Lanes' garage. |
