Successful Fishing!

Last week, we took the kids fishing up at mirror lake. We were joined by James (a guy from Bill's work) and his wife. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, perfect for fishing. It was about 68 degrees way up there... and it was soooo beautiful. Brenna was the first to catch a fish. This was her first catch EVER! She was excited until we lifted the fish out of the water to get the hook out and it was wiggling everywhere. Then she was a little weary... She was fine taking pictures as long as she was on the oposite side of the fish. Not only did Brenna catch the first fish... she caught the first 3, and the only albino trout of the day. After that her beginners luck ran out and she didn't get anymore bites. Bill and James were fly fishing, and I don't know how many they caught... but they did pretty well! I myself caught 3 as well, and I got the biggest catch of the day. Poor Sam didn't catch anything... he was more interested in realing in the line after I would cast it out. Oh well, it kept him busy! After fishing, the kids were pooped. Sam was passed out before we even left the parking lot of mirror lake. On our way home we decided to check out a few camp spots, and different lakes. Bill just HAD to make a trip to his FAVORITE lake ever... Beth Lake! Although it isn't the easiest lake to get to, you have to take it very slow and you need some clearance... no cars on this dirt road! We finally made it there... and aside from the MASS amounts of bugs flying around your head it was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. It is a pretty secluded place that not many people know about. The kids walked around and picked wild flowers for me... and I got some really good pictures of them sitting in the flowers. It was a very relaxing and beautiful day!
