Much Needed Outing!

Finally, we got to spend Saturday up in the Uintas. We went to Lily Lake for about 10minutes,until Alex decided he didn't like it there. We weren't sure if it was the wind or the alititude, but since it was our first outing we decided to play it safe and head to lower ground. We spent the rest of the afternoon fishing the Provo River around Soapstone area. It didn't take Sam long to hook on to a fish at the lake. He had a "lunker" on in about 5 minutes of fishing.

That smile made it all worth it. When was the last time you saw a smile that big for a 3 in. fish? Cute boy!

Alex did pretty good for the trip. Although by the afternoon he needed a nap, so Mom hung out in the car with him while Dad and Sam headed up the river for some more fishing.

Sam has also decided now that he is ready to trade in his fishing pole for a fly rod. It does Dad (and Mom) proud, but are we ready to start this expensive habit at four years old?

Gary said it's a good thing women are good at multitasking (as if my casting skills needed challenged). It was a whole new experience casting, rocking and bouncing all at the same time, but hey we had a great time!

Gary and Sam had a great time too. Sam was determined to cross the river, and it's a good thing Dad was there to help him. The water was a lot stronger than he expected. You know you can't believe Mom and Dad when they say that, you have to find out for yourself. Sam enjoys all the "boy time" that they get to spend together.

We were so happy to get out for the day together. We truly understand what we've been told so many times before- "find joy in your posterity". We have two wonderful and sweet little boys and we are so greatful for them!
