It Passed the "Trial"

On August 2nd, 2008 we took a day trip up to Trial Lake in the Wasatch/Uintas... who knows... just right above Kamas, UT. We left home about 6 am and arrived there around 7:30 am. Richard and Vicki were already there waiting for us. Auntie Sam, Auntie Sharon, Lisa, Shay, Essence, Jalon, Farrah, and Mya all came up too. It was so much fun spending time with everyone. We had a great potluck lunch of sandwiches, chips, fruit, and most importantly Rice Crispy Treats. No fish were caught all morning. Then at about 2 pm the fishing started to get HOT. Richard was catching one after another. He caught about 5-6 total. Then Xander started reeling them in. He caught about 5. Josh caught a giant rainbow, not trout... but UMBRELLA HAT. So funny!!! Josh also started to fly fish and was able to catch about 4. Brian and I each caught 1 so we didn't get skunked.

Brian spent most of his day helping the boys and I with our poles. He is always so nice to help us, even though he sacrifices his fishing time. He has really been working with the boys to show them how to set up their own poles. They even started their own tackle boxes. They will be masters just like their Dad soon enough.

Taffy enjoyed splashing in the water and playing with all the kids. She also enjoyed barking at nearby dogs... much to our displeasure.

On Sunday I cooked up all the fish we took home, plus a few we had caught in Lava Hot Springs, ID. Richard, Vickie, Auntie Sam, Mark, and the Stucki guys all came. Everyone ate a good portion of fish, none more than Josh. I think he ate 4 or 5 of those bad boys.
