Kolob Reservior

We went to Kolob Reservoir that is near Zions N.P. in Utah with the Lewis Family. We took the wheeler, fishing poles, swim suits and hammocks planning on having a lot of fun. That we did!!! Marcus & Cody taught the boys how to break apart pallets for fire wood. They had fun doing that of coarse! What boy doesn't like to tear stuff up and burn it!!! ha ha

Marcus took the kids fishing and caught nothing but a poor tangled up dying Crawdad. He tried cutting the fishing line off it and got him untangled. They set it free and hoped for the best! Poor guy! It was exciting for the kids anyway!!! I think Marcus had fun too!!! ha ha

They had fun catching caterpillars playing in the freezing cold water and relaxing in the hammocks! We would leave life behind and become full time campers if we could!!! We always have fun at Kolob so until next time we have our wonderful memories!!!

Fishing @ Tule Springs

After almost 5 years of living in Las Vegas we finally took the kids fishing. They loved it and we had a blast as parents watching our kids having fun and learning something new. We went with the Lebaron family from our ward. Chase caught the first and only fish in our family. The Lebarons caught several after we left of course. The picture next to last on the bottom right side is my favorite of the trip. I wish I would have video taped this moment because the picture doesn't really capture it. The boys had that "ewe gross" look on their faces as Marcus taught them how to gut the fish. In fact that's was they kept saying through out the whole gutting process, even though they thought it was cool. I also like the two middle pictures when Makell finally got up the nerve to touch the worms and then tried to get Andie to hold them. Andie was not very thrilled with the worm or Makell after that.

When we got home Marcus cooked the fish outside on the grill because as you all know there is a no fish in my house rule. They stink!! Marcus and Andie were the only ones that liked it. And no of course I didn't try it!! No Way! There are certain things that I am totally against and fish is pretty close to the top of that list! We had a blast and we'll now be going fishing more in the future here in Las Vegas.
