When Dad Comes Home from Fires

These are pictures from the days when Kev got to come home. 

This was his 14th season and the busiest yet.  He went on 12+ fires in 11 weeks.

When he did make it home, he worked around the house on projects I can't do 

and we planned special dad time.

Backyard Camping

Kev, Maylee, and Cinder attempted to sleep in the tent.  Both Cinder and Maylee got cold.  Maylee ended up in the sleeping bag with Kev and Cinder on top of them.  So, Kev got kicked by both Maylee and Cinder.  At sunrise, Cinder got them up...way earlier than Kev and Maylee's normal waking time.

Fishing
Maylee caught her first fish! (A massive catfish...wink, wink).
She caught lots of them so Kev called her the Catfish Hunter.

 Another fishing trip...
I took a movie of one of the many she caught.  Maylee watched the fish's mouth and then told me it says, "Put me back in the water."  She also named that fish Figaro Alice.

 Some fish weren't going to survive to turn back so she brought them home.
