Family Vacation

We went on our annual fishing trip to the John Day River at Service Creek! Click on the link to the right to go to the photo album to view the pictures.

We had a great time! The river was higher than we had ever seen it, so it made the floating very fast and very difficult to fish in. Brandon caught one fish the whole week but it was a really big small mouth bass, so that made the trip worth it! The weather was about 20 degrees colder than it usually is so we huddled around the camp fire a lot and played a lot of card games and domino's, so it was a great time.

Jacoby learned to whittle, he really enjoyed that and thinks that he is really a big man now. He didn't even cut himself at all! Boaz cant wait until he is as old as his brother so he can learn to "Waddle" as he calls it!

I came up with a new invention that beats all S'more Recipes!

Two chocolate chip cookies warmed on a rock by the fire, with two melted marshmallows in the middle is a brownie that has been warmed in the fire and a piece of dark chocolate in the very center! All were hot and meted to perfection. I guess the extra time around the camp fire was worth it!

Xander is getting very big, he is all ready here to get on the boat to go floating down the river. Now he can say that when he was 6 months old he went down a class 3 rapid!
