Fishing - second and third time around

So Byron had to try out fishing again with the family after his first fishing trip was such a great success. The first time he took Camille & Johnathan at 5:30 a.m. up to Silver Lake in American Fork Canyon on a Saturday morning. They had a great time. I am so glad that Camille loves taking her camera wherever she goes to catch these awesome memories. They were the first ones to the lake and enjoyed quite a bit of time all to themselves.

They caught one fish while there. There were a group of Boy Scouts next to them that caught 4 fish and gave them to Byron before they left. Lucky Byron got to bring home 5 - as soon as he got home, he took the bucket full of fish and dumped them out on the grass in the backyard. The kids were very intrigued with fish flapping around. Soon they quit moving and Byron went ahead and gutted them. There was no way I was going to watch - Camille & Johnathan joined me in the house while the rest were loving every moment of it.

The following Monday, we went as a family for FHE up Tibblefork Reservoir. We arrived around 5 p.m. and enjoyed about 2 hours of fishing. There were so many fish jumping out of the water all around us -- I couldn't believe the show we got from them. The kids loved taking turns. We had bought a smaller fishing pole and Tanner bought one, so with 3 poles it was a lot more enjoyable. The canyons were starting to change colors and were just beautiful that time of day. Camille & I enjoyed taking pictures of the surroundings.

Tanner ended up catching a fish that was pretty small. We ended up throwing it back in so we didn't have to deal with taking it with us.

Poor Bradley got too close to the shore and fell face first into the rocks. He wasn't very happy about having dirt all over himself. I just couldn't resist this picture moment.

Just before the sun went down the water looked gorgeous with all of the shadows.

We had such a great time. We are so blessed to have such beautiful surroundings and places so close where we can go together.
