Black River Fishing Trip!

Pictures say a 1000 words, right? Well here are LOTS of pics to tell about Reed & Ryne's annual fishing trip to the Black River. This year LaVerl went again, along with Mark and Barry. They all had huge packs carrying all their gear, they all had their fishing poles and they were ready for a great time fishing. They caught lots of fish and had a great time.

 We all had breakfast burritos at Tami & Ryne's that morning.

 Barry's pack was as big as him!

 Dad's ready to roll! Walking sticks and all!

This was Dads favorite picture and I forgot to put it in. He wanted to title it -"best buddies"

Good times at Roosevelt!

We couldn't wait to get out of Eagar, the wind was howling and it was cold. So we headed to our little place at Roosevelt for a little fun. We got there on Wed. night and our friends from the temple,  Marilyn and Jim Downing came Thursday morning so we could go 4 -wheeling. They got a new quad, so we took them on their first- ever ride. We rode for about 5 hours, saw some beautiful country and had a great time.

 We love taking our friends up to see Peter Bigfoot and his Reevis Mountain School. He's so interesting and so knowledgeable and the ride there is beautiful. Its been a dry winter everywhere, but we still crossed the creek about 5 times. 

 Friday family started arriving- Dave & Mary, and J'net & Bryan. We thought it would be fun to all get together Conference weekend for games and good times....

 .... And of course--lots of eating, it seems like that's all we did!

 Saturday, Rick & Paula arrived.

 Spring is such a great time to be there, the weather is just

perfect. We didn't need heat or cool going.  

 Always cooking up something to eat!!

 We watched all the sessions of conference too. 

 Reed, you should be proud, I managed to set the 10 second timer to take these pictures!

For a last minute decision to all meet at Roosevelt, it was a great little family get-together. We enjoyed spending time relaxing and just being with each other. 

It's UP!

The wind turbine is standing back up, and just in time for the Spring winds!

 I sort of missed the  process of watching it go back up,
 but I think it was a little pushing and a little pulling!

 Floyd Penrod,  Ron Cole and Chip Taylor came to help Dad. 
They really put their heads together to figure it all out!! 

Floyd hooked the long yellow strap to his pick up and pulled

and Dad pushed with his skidsteer. I think Ron and Chip 

pulled on the guy wires. Hooray its UP! Good job boys!
