Our friend Quinn offered up his fly fishing skills at the ward auction. We were super excited because we wanted to support our wards Youth programs, and we also really wanted to learn how to fly fish... Mission Accomplished! This trip was SO much fun!
Before we went Quinn came over to teach us how to cast. We did a little FHE, and watched the Mormon Message about the fly fisherman. Chase thought this was pretty funny because in the video it likens the fisherman to Satan, and after the video was over we all went outside to learn how to cast. Chase was making comments like " Wow, this FHE is different... Fly fisherman are like Satan... Come on kids let's all be fly fisherman..." *Side note... We have yet to have a BBQ this summer where it hasn't started raining, and this night was no exception. So we learned how to cast in the rain. It was actually really fun!
Camping was a blast! Except for the sleeping part. The kids slept great but Matt and I FROZE!! In the end even that was memorable though because we kept laughing as we would try and warm our freezing feet on each other. I don't think either of us drifted off for more than a couple hours at the most. Other than that though it was great. Matt, Chase, and Quinn took off first thing in the morning to do some fishing.
Matt caught 2 pretty big ones.
Chase caught 2 but one of them was SO BIG, it got away (That's his story anyway, and he's sticking to it!) But he made it back with this one, which he was also very proud of.
While the boys were gone the kids were happy as could be playing at the campsite. There was a little stream that went through that the kids could play in.
When the boys got back Scott wanted a turn to go. I was trying to explain to him that this fishing would be a little hard for him and maybe he could fish with Chase in the stream. But he wanted to use a pole just like Dad and Chase. Quinn heard him asking so he told Scott to come with him and he would teach him to fish. Scott was so excited, he told Quinn " If I catch a fish I will be Happy, but if I don't I will be Sad" Quinn was funny he said "You won't be sad on my watch" and away they went. In the end they didn't catch a fish, but Scott loved trying!
After lunch it was my turn. Sara was nice enough to watch ALL the kids so I could at least give it a shot. While we were out Quinn caught like 6 more fish, and Matt and I didn't catch a thing. But it was fun, and by the end my casting was getting much better so maybe I'll have better luck next time. Thanks Quinn and Sara!
