Fishing - part 4 (at last!)

For our family activity we had planned to go to Glenwood and

hike the 'Catwalk', but because of the fire in New Mexico, it has 

been closed, so we had to find something else to do. We choose

fishing at Nelson Reservoir! That was a good choice because

they have been stocking the Lake and the fishing was GREAT!

What's fishing without donuts?

We actually caught more than just fish, like this crawdad!

And this little baby water snake!

Tami's first catch was also a crawdad!

Milea was a little afraid of her fish!

Barry making sure Lisa could pull this big one in all by herself!

Gma with Blake!

London, Milea & Kingston catching 'play' fish!

Rivers catching a little cool water! (Kari makes
these little hats, aren't they cute?)

Zallen- he had lots of fun with just this water
bottle and the rocks!

Auntie Lisa helped all the kids catch their fish!

Chad showing off his fish!

Tami- proud of her catch!

Bret really excited about his fish!

Gpa helping Gma get her fish off the hook!

Zallen being pretty brave holding a fish!

Wow! What a fun day! We all caught fish and had a great time!

Pretty good for a couple hours of fishing!

Gpa getting ready to clean the fish.

Then for Family Home Evening we fried the fish in dutch
ovens along with some potatoes and green beans! They
were so good! Nothing quite as good as fresh trout!

Enjoying fun at Home part 3-

After 3 days in the heat, it was nice to get home to Eagar. We did some fun things - games, dutch oven cooking, fishing, visiting 

and eating. Just being together is FUN!

Roasting marshmallows around our new fire pit! FUN! We
had already cooked all the fish we caught, fried potatoes,
and green beans for dinner!

Barry was having so much fun! (he was really sunburned from fishing!)

We feel like we have a little bit of forest in our own backyard!

Funny Zallen!

Mark thought it would be fun to float down the
big ditch on tubes, like he did as a kid! You can
see how much Milea is loving it!!

Reed came too, but he & Ryne had planned a fishing trip on
Black River, so we didn't see much of him!

Bath time is always fun! 

Good daddy's!

Game time FUN!!

6 little cousins!

All my grandkids except Blake & Dempsey!

These 3 little guys will probably all be in the same class in school!

Playing in the playground! We got a new trampoline mat so the
kids could play on the tramp, but rocks and baby apples
are much more FUN!

It was FUN being together, kind of an unexpected 

family reunion, thats why not everyone was here. 

We sure missed Becki & Dempsey, Kirk, Natali

and Ryne! 

Family Fun part 2- Roosevelt

Here's some random pictures of all the fun we had at Roosevelt. Most of us were there 3 days and we had our fill of sun, heat and water. We tried our luck at fishing, but no luck!

Aunt Lisa & Milea enjoying their s'mores!

Kari & Rivers came all the way from Hawaii!

Lake fun with all the grandkids!

Rivers!

Tami & Lisa and little Bolden!

Cousins staying 'cool in the pool'!

Kingston and Kaemon became good buddies! They loved
playing with these old 'tinker toys'!

Adorable Bolden!

Otter pop time!

Uncle Chad and London!

My three daughters and grandbabies!

We sure like our deck boat, it holds lots of people. LaVerl
built a nice bar/rack so we can pull tubers better!

Blake loved tubing and the water.

Mark & Bolden

Cute London

Kaemon & Milea

Mark & Holly came a long ways to play at the lake with us!

We all had fun and loved being together! It was great being with

our kids and our grandkids!
