Fish Lake 2009

Another year has come and gone at Fish Lake. This year was very interesting and not the best Fish Lake trip we've ever had...but they can't all be great, right? Sometimes you have to have years that aren't great so you can appreciate the times that are wonderful, right? It made it a little tricky doing Fish Lake with a 2 year old and a 2 month old....plus the 3 older kids. Rob stayed in a little Cabin with Jaxson and I stayed in my parents' old trailer with the other 4. It was exhausting, but all in all, the kids had a great time! (Photo above-our Sunday Dutch Oven potluck desserts. YUM!)

These are "stacked rocks" at Fish Lake. Growing up, our parents always told us of these rocks that the Indians had stacked.
Sadie LOVED being in the outdoors! She didn't ride her bike as much as she just pulled it around...and of course had to wear a helmet just like the big kids!
Jaxson loved the fresh air. He took great naps wherever and whenever he could
Daddy and Jaxson
Our first night fishing. It was COLD, but McKell got all bundled up and fished like a champ!
Cayden the might fisherman
Aunt Miki is quite a fishing pro and Ashlee loves Miki so much. Miki let Ashlee reel in this fish the first night we were there.

Ashlee loved fishing...and usually named and hugged every fish she caught.
This is classic of McKell - her face when I told her she had to help me get a worm to put on her hook.
Uncle Jay is the BEST! He and Cayden have a special relationship and have so much fun together. He was Cayden's official fishing buddy and they had a great time together!
Jaydee, Ashlee, and McKell at Mill Meadow
We mostly only caught perch at Mill Meadow Res. But McKell was thrilled when she actually caught this big trout!

This was quite a monumental year at Fish Lake because ALL 9 kids were there. We of course had to get a picture! (Me, Mel, Scott, Michelle, Shawn, Dad, Mom, Jay, Marilyn, Miki, and Miriam)
