Betton Island beach day

We spent a Saturday afternoon on a little family adventure. We rented a skiff (small motor boat) from our friends' resort, Clover Pass, and traveled around the area. Addie slept the entire time on the boat, which is nice because she hates life jackets and screams bloody murder in them.
First we went to Betton Island and had a little picnic on the beach.

We explored and found a few crab.

Then back in the boat we went. Suddenly the girls were afraid of every little bump and begged to go home. We went to Silver King lodge instead (haha!). We walked the boardwalk trail into the forest and saw a few deer. Lexi and Kaytlin loved that!
I got a turn to drive on the way back and sighted a waterfall and went around another island. When we got back to Clover Pass John's family pulled in too. They had been fishing and Lana caught this 55 pound halibut.
These halibut and salmon were from a chartered boat. The big one of the ground weighed 126 pounds!
