Trae walked all the way around the lake and caught ALL of these fish by himself. Between all 3 boys, they caught and returned 50 fish during the hour. Doesn't get better than that, does it?
The Boys "POOFED" my hair one night. They thought it was SOOO funny. words cannot really describe this place.... our end-of-summer peace.
So we are RedNecks afterall. We loaded the jetski (given free to us if we could just fix it) into the Big Red truck and off to Bear Lake we went. ahhh. Doesn't get better than that, does it?
The river between Shoshone and Lewis Lake was muy muy relaxing. It was probably the highlight of our trip.
These fish were EVERYWHERE in the river. There were thousands of them so close we could bop them on the heads with our paddles- except they wouldn't let us.
The boys saw this picture of Jon asleep in camp and they all said the smoke under his chair looked a bit "suspicious". ha ha. Jon didn't think it was a very funny comment. :)
We did a really lot of good fishing... seriously. Sight Seeing was, of course -- GREAT.
We guided some friends to the top of the Wellsvilles last week. It was amazing! Jon and Braden go up there all the time, but this was my first. It was a steep ole hike, but I loved every step. (even though my gortex boots gave me yucky blisters)
We slept at the top sans tent. We had taco soup and smores for dinner. I wish I could put how funny our friends were -- apparently this was their first camping trip! We hiked and hiked. This mountain is in the guiness book of world's records for being the tallest mountain from base to height in the U.S.
We left from Rattlesnake Trail in Sardine Canyon and hiked to the top - slid down the glaciers in garbage bags and slept over. The next day we hiked down the other side. We ended up at my parent's orchard where we gorged ourselves on cherries from the trees. Then we soaked our weary feet at Crystal Springs. It was a lovely little vacation. We sweated our guts out! We decided that not just anyone could take on this venture. We are all in great shape, and it was still pretty crazy!!!
