Out on the Lake

As you may know, my husband is obsessed with fishing, and I don't mind it much either. Gabe came up with the idea of renting a pontoon boat and heading out to the lake for the day. So that's what we did. We convinced every one(gabes fam) to head out at 5:30 a.m. to get to Strawberry by 6:30. It was early, but worth it, we think:) We were minus a few members of the family, and they were missed, but It was a great day out on the lake, and we caught a tun of fish. We had to throw most of them back, because they were cut throats, but still had a great day! Lots of pics from our fun day:)

Headin out to our sweet spot!

I only made Jace wear this life jacket when we were moving, which he probably should have worn it the hole time, but as you can see it's not the most comfortable thing.

Kass and Gauge. He looked miserable in his jacket, but was such a good sport about it and didn't even make a peep.

Don is terrified of water, but he did really good. He didn't take his life jacket off the whole time:)

Jacers thinking he was driving the boat:)

Just chillin

First catch of the day. He's giving me a sarcastic smile cause I wanted a picture of him and his fish, but he was more worried about getting the hook off and the fish back in the water before it died cause it was one we couldn't keep.

Jerome and his first catch of many.

Our nephew caught this off his little transformers $10 pole. He was just playing around casting and reeling over and over when all the sudden he couldn't reel in any more, we heard him yell and came over to find this nice rainbow trout on his pole. He was so proud of it and was bragging all day about his awesome catch:)

Jerome and Kass

Kris and Gabe with Kris's nice Rainbow.

We caught all cut throats, so we had nothing to take home, but still a blast!

Kass fishin!

Grandma kristi and Story.

Jace was pretty much exhausted and didn't wake up till we got home:)
We will definitely be doing this again it was a great day!
