Labor Day Weekend

We had a pretty long and eventful Labor Day weekend. (Sorry about the long post and all the pictures) It started Friday night with Mike taking the kids craw dad fishing at Strawberry Reservoir so that I could go to Swiss Days with no kids! I was a little sad to be missing the excitement of the fishing but I had a great time kid free at Swiss Days. Of coarse I didn't buy anything because I figure the stuff that I really liked I could make it for way cheaper and make it exactly how I want it! The kids and Mike along with the Taylor's had a great time fishing and they were pretty successful, considering the kids did most of the fishing! If you have never been craw fishing you tie a uncooked chicken leg to a string and throw it out into the water and wait for the craw dads to start eating the chicken leg they are pretty attached to the chicken and you pull it in and drop them into a bucket. Some times you lose some off the chicken leg while you are pulling them in but if you are really careful you can get quite a few into your bucket.

On Saturday we went for a 4-wheeler ride to Whitney Reservoir I love to ride there on the 4-wheelers it is so pretty and peaceful. We got there and let the kids fish for a little while, and had a picnic lunch although we didn't have much success with fishing the kids had a great time trying. On the way home we made a stop so that Justin could shoot Mike's 22. When they went on the Father and Sons camp out Brian Balls had taken a gun and let a few of the kids shoot it when they were on there 4-wheeler ride since that time, that is all Justin has talked about is shooting the gun. So this really made Justin's day! A little further down the trail Garrett decided he needed to pee since he is doing so good with potty training we stopped by a small stream so he could go. We happened to find a couple of frogs the kids thought was pretty neat. Justin even held one and wanted to know if we could take it home so we put them in a water bottle and warned him it might not make it on the long ride home and he could not be to upset if it died. Well they not only made it all the way home but they are still alive! We really have no idea what to feed them or how to take care of them but we are giving it a good try.

On Monday we went for a very cold snowy ride up Snake Creek. We had been planning to go for a ride with the Dagley's for quite sometime and they had rented a 4-wheeler(that they could not get out of) so it was pretty much set in stone that we go. It was snowing on us before we made it a mile up the trail. Garrett didn't really like the snow falling on his face or in his eyes. It was super cold so we decided to just go back to the trucks and eat lunch. Not the greatest day to go for a 4-wheeler ride but we did have fun.

Doesn't Jen look like she is having a good time!
