How could we not drive up to this beautiful lake just 30 minutes from our house...My parents came over from Utah for Addyson's baptism, and we wanted to take them to some of our favorite spots. We lucked out with warm, sunny weather and good fishing. Ric even took the Brooklyn and Addyson out for their first ride in a canoe. (Or Can-Oh as the girls say). They weren't sure about all the paddling...neither was Ric. But they made it to shore and were all smiles...they looked like expert canoers. :) We all enjoyed a picnic lunch and then Ric set Brynley up with a fishing pole.
We had an audience as Brynley pulled in a BIG catch. She had just put in her line a few minutes earlier, and got a bite. Ric had to help her reel it in since it was such a fighter.
She pulled in a 18 inch Rainbow Trout!
Brooklyn and Addyson weren't so sure they wanted the fish to die. Addyson is actually "petting" the fish and Brooklyn went and filled a bucket with lake water to keep the fish alive. They wanted to put it in our pond at home. At my mom's request, Ric finally put it out of it's suffering, and stepped on it's head (wha??)...traumatizing everyone watching, lol. My dad teased that that's how they must do it in California. I knew I didn't like fishing...but I don't mind eating it! We cooked it up the next night and it was tasty!
As we were leaving the lake, these guys were just hanging out on the lawn. So cool...
