Fairplay Fishin'

Each year- as evidenced by previous posts- our High Priest group goes up to Fairplay, Colorado to do some fishin on free fish day!  Our kids usually have a blast, and this year did not disappoint- too bad!  It's a long trek up there for the boys not to like fishing too much, but we have to get them into it somehow!  Their fishin Grandpa is gone for 3 years, so we have to take them ourselves- I guess!  Here are some pictures of the fun day!

Payton was pretty excited about this first fish that we caught!  He even reeled it in!  I was pretty proud of him for grabbing it and not freaking out!

Unlike Morgan....

And Lincoln!  What happened to these kids?!  I thought we've taken them enough times that they dont balk at the idea of touching a fish!  We, as kids, used to hold the fish in our hands and play with their eyeballs!  I don't know if that is some form of animal cruelty or not.  I guess it's better then slicing them in half and pulling out all of their bones!  Also when we were younger, his is sick, but when my dad came home from pheasant hunting and was all done cleaning the birds and stuff, would cut off their feet and we would take them to school with us in our pockets!  We would pull their little tendons that were still attached to their foot and it would make the hand flex and straighten.  Sick.

There's a happier face!

This is where she was contained for most of the time!  She kept trying to get into the lake, and I did NOT want her to do that!  Gross!

Here's L & P with Ezra and Zed Smith- their good buddies from our ward!

Morgs really liked to reel in the line, and also help me cast!  Notice Lincoln in the background wielding his slingshot! He was trying to shoot the fish in the water with rocks.  No wonder we didn't catch too many fish!

Is that not the cutest face in the WHOLE WORLD?!  He does NOT like to wear shoes and this was certainly the case on this trip.
