Last Friday we took the kids to
Tucannon which is about 2 hours from our house. We left after Garrett got home from work
Friday morning, Madalyn missed school that day. I thought she would be really mad about her not gong but
surprisingly she was
ok with that. We have never taken the girls fishing from the bank so we thought it would be a good experience for them. Another bonus for us was my parents bought a travel
trailer a few months ago and they let us take that with us. I don't think I ever what to go real camping in a tent again. It was so nice, especially with kids. It made camping great. The kids just loved staying in it. Between my brothers and sisters I think it will get used
a lot. Thanks mom and dad. It's always nice when they buy things and let us use them.
The week before they had stocked the lakes up there, which was great for us. When we got up there on Friday we started fishing, we had not been there more than 2 hours and Morgan got to close to the edge and fell in. She was lucky it was not that deep. (she got wet up to her waist). That day we fished at Rainbow and Blue Lake.
On Friday we caught 10 fish. It was a learning experience the first day to find out what was working as far as bait.
Doing a little night fishing.
I just love this picture. Natalie ran down to tell the girls that she just caught a BIG fish. She looks like she is really chewing them out. Which most of the time she is.
Friday was a beautiful day, the sun was out. We all got sunburns.
These next pictures were of Saturday. The weather was terrible, it was so cold. Some friends came
up for the day on Saturday. Brian Lloyd and his kids came, and Brady and
Rachael Cutler and their daughter Natalie. That was fun for the kids. We fished at Pearl lake on Saturday.
That day Garrett went and bought new things to fish with and that helped out
a lot. We had mastered the fishing by
using a fly on the line. We caught over 100 fish that day. Just about every cast we had a fish on. We only keep the big ones and a few that the kids caught. Our limit was 25 fish for that day, it was
a lot of throwing them back. Garrett spent most
of time untangling line and getting fish off. I will now bait my own line but I still can't bring myself to take the fish off the line. Maybe that will come.
Trying to stay warm. Madalyn and Marissa
All the kids had a great time. We hope to go back again this summer sometime.
