Trout, Grads, and Mickey Mouse

We went on our annual trout fishing trip and had a great time! If you don't count the mud from the one night of rain it was really good. We've had tons of rain and the river was up so the fish were harder to catch but we still managed to do okay. Mom has decided there is an adult fishing trip in order soon because she enjoys the fishing but the kiddos didn't have the patience to WAIT for the fish to bite. Jack said it best, "I like reeling them up mommy, I just don't like to have to wait for HOURS for them." His "hours" are more like 30-45 minutes but what can you do?








Hiking with our buddies Luke and Garrett. We go together on this trip every year.




















What a pair. Posing in the opening of the cave.




















My little tomboy---she is filthy but she had way more patience than Jack. He caught one and was done. She stuck around and we caught two more, though mommy did drop one back in the river while trying to get it on the stringer....she stood on the bank crying and I was totally embarrassed.

Look at this handsome guy...I found him hiking in the creek bed near our campsite.
