This last weekend we took the kids out of school on Friday and headed to Tucannon for the night. When Garrett got home from work Friday morning we hooked up my parents camper and we left. The weather was a little cold (55-60) but not to bad, at least it didn't rain.
The kids were very excited to go fishing, and to be able to practice casting off the bank. By the end of the trip they got really good.
Brooklyn loved playing in the tackle box, it made me nervous with all the hooks. She loved it though. Brooklyn was also battling a head cold so she was not as fun as normal. She liked the fish but when the kids caught one and rilled it in she would not touch it. She said "GROSS"
Garrett spent most of his time undoing line, taking off fish and rebaiting the hooks. I spent most of my time watching Brooklyn to make sure she didn't fall in the water, and keep the food coming for everyone to eat.
On Friday we first went to Rainbow Lake, caught 14 fish there. Then went back had dinner and then went to Blue Lake caught 5. Then on Saturday we tried to go to Curl Lake cause it was opening day for that Lake so the fishing was going to be good. We got there at 7:30 am and it was so packed, no room for a family of 6. We decided to move on to another less crowded Lake caught 7 and last stop before heading home was back to Rainbow for 6. Trips total over 30 fish. Garrett and I wanted to throw them back after we caught them, the kids wouldn't let us.
Our campsite, It was so nice to be able to take my parents travel trailer. It makes everything more enjoyable with kids. The kids made friends with the family of all girls camping next to us, they even had the same ages of kids. That was fun for them.
We LOVE smores!!!!!

Natalie enjoyed finding lost treasures just as much as fishing. Can't wait to go back again.
