Fishing at Piute

Yesterday my brother, Jace, took us to Piute to go fishing.  He brought his paddle boat for us to use and his float tube for him.  We had lots of fun!  But it was SO hot.  Luckily I only burned my scalp.  Of all places to forget sunscreen! ( I even got a tan on my feet! YAY! For anyone who knows me knows that it is nearly impossible for me to tan, so I was super exited!) 

Dustyn found a little high spot in the lake so he decided to do a little fishing there.  

Here is Dustyn's catch for the day.

Here is what I caught all day.

We finally headed over to the boat ramp to load up the boat and thought we'd do a little crawdad fishing.  We both caught 2 or 3.  We didn't bring anything to cook them in, so we didn't keep them.  

Afterwards we went up on the Monroe looking for "the elk".  The one that everyone knows about and the one that is dominating on Monster Muleys.  Too funny.  But we didn't see it.  There were so many people up there looking for it.  It was crazy.   We tried to tell them that the parade isn't until Friday, but they didn't listen.

Our buddy.

It was so nice to get a away and get up in the mountains!  I love it up there.

Captain Rick...

is thinking about a new toy! :)



We took this boat out to Piute Res and tried it out. It was sweet! So much fun. I haven't been in a boat for years and years (besides the paddle boat, of course). It was nice to sit back and relax in the boat instead of paddling your guts off to make a move.

P.S. The Hat says "Captain" on it. It comes with the boat! Yes!!

Sunshine and Summertime!

We had a good weekend up at Fishlake. On Friday we ate, sat around the fire, roasted marshmellos and sang songs. It was fun to spend sometime with the kids. They have grown up a lot since the last time I saw them. Hadi has a lot of funny things to say. Last time we saw her she wasn't talking much... so it's been a lot of fun.

On Saturday we took the paddle boat out and paddled all over the lake. Dustyn and I took kids out on a few long rides. Then after we had exausted ourselves we took the boat out a fished for a few hours. It was a lot of fun. We were only catching the small planters... but they were still fun. The only problem was that when we were putting sun screen on, Dustyn neglected his knees (because his shorts covered them) and I didn't put any on my legs. What were we thinking. We are burnt crisp. I don't remember the last time I had a burn like this. My legs never burn... but I guess this time they did. I even took extra care to wear a hat so my head and face didn't burn. :P Saturday night we set up all the movie equiptment and watched "Open Season" on the side of a trailer. Fun times!




On Saturday we went to Church at the Lodge and then came home. It was a good weekend. We tried to make Frozen Yogurt with Dustyn's new Ice Cream maker, but it didn't really turn out well.

More camping pictures!

Man I miss camping! I just want to spend every weekend up at FISHLAKE! Infact... I think we might spend next weekend up there!

Dad being silly!

Chet in his waiters! What a goof! (Sorry.... the pictures were one the wrong setting again and I can't turn them... just slightly turn your head a little to see them! It's easier than turning the monitor!)

Dustyn! Man he's sexy! :D

Mom. Need I say more? :D

Tina and Camo in the Paddle Boat!

Dad.... and me... Remember just tilt your head to the left! :D
