Fishing

Great Uncle Ron has been wanting to take the kids out fishing. He is an exceptional fisherman and a great guide. He was fishing up north so we made the journey up to do some fishing. The kids were sure they would catch fish with an experienced fisherman! 

They had some lessons. 

At first, the kids tried to catch fish by casting right off the shore. That didn't work.

Great Uncle Ron took Papa Norm and the kids out. They trolled around out there for a long time, but it was worth it! 

When they returned, they had FOUR fish!! 

Elizabeth caught 2 salmon and Nathan caught a salmon and a trout. They were very excited. The fish were Elizabeth's first catch! 

Great Uncle Ron showed the kids how to clean the fish.

 Uncle Ron also cooked some burgers for us and we had a great lunch. Gram brought up some of her salads and fruits and special cupcakes! 

On the way home, we took a short detour down the highway to see famous Auntie Laura on her billboard! It was already a 3 hour drive one way, so a few extra minutes to see the world famous billboard wasn't a big deal. Nathan took this picture! He did a good job capturing it. 

We took the new minivan and it fit everyone PLUS all the fishing gear and food!
