First family fishin trip

The High Priests in our ward hosted a family free fishing fiasco a couple of Saturdays ago and we decided to venture out and try our hand at catching fish! I used to fish all the time growing up, but it's been a while since I have been cast-fishing, so it was quite the adventure! I remember all of my knots though- thanks dad! Cole was quite proud of me. The boys had the GREATEST time, and we took TONS of pictures. Lincoln was SO PUMPED when we were catching all of these fish! He was having the greatest time! Payton didn't think that the fish were the coolest thing, but he sure enjoyed his hot dog, and throwing rocks! So enjoy this plethora of pictures. :)

Lincoln and daddy pullin in a big one! Lincoln is trying to do thumbs up if you are wondering...he just can't do it on command! Geez!

Payton not quite so sure about what is flippin around in front of him, but still willing to say cheese.

Contemplating what exactly is on the line!

In mid catch. Link's favorite thing to do is to reel in the line!

Don't mind what looks like a really chubby belly! I had EVERYTHING stuffed into my coat pockets...and there might be a bit of fat for warmth there too.:)


Really enjoying his "dog"



Trying to figure out why it won't stay in that bun already!


The whole "Kittenboodle" as Link would say

Cole doesn't know how to clean a fish...DANG! So that lot fell to my shoulders. Thanks again Dad for teaching such a delicate woman to clean the guts out of a fish! We enjoyed eating them that night but we understand why people that eat fish regularly are so skinny! It sure takes a LOT of work to get all of the bones out! I finally gave up after about 2 ounces of fish. But it sure was yummy.
