Fishing...

 See this old boat - it doesn't look like it would float - does it?  Well when we bought an investment home in Plain City, they left this boat in their shop out back.  We decided to see if it could float and over the 4th of July went camping and ventured up to the property and drove over Monte to Woodruff and put in - we made sure we had a bail bucket in the boat and the kids weren't allowed to take their life jackets off ever. 

 We had so much fun and most of us caught a fish - they weren't very big - but they were fun too catch.  We did have to use the bail bucket because the boat was taking on water slowly - but we never sank!  We did it again this last weekend and went up to upper Birch Creek - Dean had patched the holes so there wasn't nearly the water in the boat.  I caught a tiger trout - we ate it for breakfast the next day and it was so yummy!  I was so proud of the kids - although we did have Ethan whining quite a bit because he was tired and hungry - for the most part they did great. 


 These pictures are taken with my iphone - not the best - but safer than taking my big camera out there.  We just relaxed the rest of the weekend - took a few hikes - Dean gave the kids motorcycle rides and we ate good food.  I love spending time up there with my family - hopefully we get to a few more times before school starts.
 If you can't tell I forgot how to blog - my pictures and text are everywhere - forgive me - I will figure it out!
