7 Fish and lots of Fun!

Grandpa & Grandma O and Joe took the kids fishing up American Fork Canyon to Silver Lake. Katie and I got to come along as well to help out with the little ones. We had such a great time and couldn't have asked for a better day. The view was beautiful and the fish were biting! The kids were lovin' it! Thanks so much!

Jane and Ike were so excited to go. We went in the afternoon so it was a day full of, is it time to go yet? They were both quite the fishermen. The funny story of this one is that Jane was the first one to get her pole and have grandpa show her what to do and she was really intent on just sitting there and was being really patient. She had to go get something and asked Ike to hold her pole. Ike was so excited. This is him giving me thumbs up! A few minutes later, Ike caught the first fish, off of Jane's pole! It was funny.

Grandpa, Jane, and Chloe.

Waiting for the fish to bite. I have to admit, I didn't think we would catch any fish. Much to my surprise though, we caught 7 in all. The kids each got one.

The gang.

Ike's first catch. He was so excited to get a fish! He wasn't a huge fan of the fish out of the water. But the first few pictures he was alright at a distance.

Ike's big catch.

Not soon after Ike got a fish, Chloe caught one and then Jane. Jane was super brave and held up the fish for pictures. She really liked to fish. She stayed with it the entire time we were there. Ike and Chloe lost interest after they caught their first fish, but were really good just to hang out and play on the rocks.

My little fisher-girl!

Jane was so excited!

Jane's fish. She even got to where she would reel them in all by herself. She was so proud. It was so fun.

Cal and I even caught a fish! He loved it. He wanted to touch the fish, until it started flopin' around and got water in his eye.

Grandpa O and his little buddy!

Jane and Uncle Joe!

These are all the fish we caught. It was a success!

By the end of the night, Ike had a break down and didn't want any more pictures with the fish. I made him get in this picture. He didn't want to get to close to the fish. It was kinda funny that Jane wanted to hold the fish and Ike wanted nothing to do with the fish.

Cal lovin' it. Right before I took this picture Cal was trying to kiss the fish.

All of us, but grandma O, she is taking the picture.

Ike finally took a decent picture with the fish and grandpa O.

Me and my boys and Grandpa O.

Jane wanted a picture of the two fish she caught on her own.

Jane even wanted to see how grandpa gut the fish.
GROSS!

Adam didn't get to come up with us, but he came up to see the loot that night. Jane was so proud of her catch!

Ike fell asleep on the way home and he never did wake up in the transfer from carseat. He slept good that night. Thanks so much for the fun time Grandpa. Let's do that again soon!
