So this is yet another "catch-up" post. A few weeks ago, we went up to the Uintas with Eric to fish. My boys look forward to this day all summer. This year it turned into somewhat of a family day and it was great! Eric, Grandpa, David, & Sarah headed up early to find a sweet spot at the lake.
Eric got the kids set up and they started catching fish like crazy -- I think Sarah caught 2 before the rest of us even got started! Above photos show Mark helping Jacob with one of his catches, and Jared carefully hanging onto his wiggly, slimy catch.
Eric spent most of his time tending to everyone's fishing poles. He finally got a chance to put his pole in and Matthew was patiently waiting to see what he'd catch.
Here's Matthew taking his turn with the pole.
Jared patiently waiting for a bite.
Ryan and Rachel waiting for a nibble. I think Rachel caught the biggest fish of the day.
Good rock-throwing buddies, Zach and Matthew.
Jacob & Sarah showing off the day's catch -- 15 fish in all! Each kid caught at least one, so it was definitely a successful day. We caught way more than15, but some of them got thrown back because they were small.
Eric, Zach and Jacob holding up the fish. Thanks Eric!
Catching all that fish worked up an appetite, so we had a tailgate lunch in Grandpa's truck. Then we headed down to Kamas for some ice cream. Yum! Everyone else had to head back home, but with Mark having the whole day off, we decided to head back up into the mountains for a couple more hours. We stopped and played at this waterfall.
The boys had lots of fun throwing rocks into the water and doing some rock climbing along the riverbank.
Perfect weather, great fishing, beautiful mountains, and family to share it with. Sometimes life can be VERY good!

Those pictures are so cute. I'm glad they had a good time and caught some fish. It is a lot more fun when you actually catch fish!
