Pulled out of the lake everywhere!
Ryan caught his first, same for Kyle
By the end of the morning we had a pile!
Bench's Pond on Skyline drive, just 20 minutes from our house. It was a nice day- still a little cool- you can see there is still snow in the background in the trees.
It was free fishing day in Utah. I'm the activities commitee chair for our Church and so we planned an activity around it. We provided a BBQ grill, eating utensils, etc, water, and everyone that came brought a potluck dish. We had a nice turnout and everyone that came caught fish- so there was a lot of food for lunch. (Not to mention I brought hotdogs just incase- which turned out to be a good idea for all the kids who didn't want to taste what they caught :-)We had planned to bring Kyle & Ryan a few months back, so it worked out well when Cari wasn't feeling too hot- (prelabor pains) and had orders for rest. So we took the boys over the weekend. Derek and Eli came up and spent Friday night too, as well as some of their friends.
Baiting the hooks for the first go around.
Kyle patiently waiting.
Ryan catches the first one- all by himself! Tom cast the line for him and then turned around to help Derek's friends- next thing ya know- there's Ryan reeling in a fish! He was SO excited! And proud and shy all at the same time!
Derek reels one in-
But Kyle still hadn't caught one- but then...just before lunch...
After lunch we packed up and went back to the ranch where we rode horses. I was so proud of Kyle- riding Jigsaw all around the arena by himself. Derek and Eli rode by themselves, and I helped out their friends.
The boys ended up staying through Monday. We had a GREAT time- it was so much fun!
