Mike and Trevon went to Lake Powell on Friday and Saturday with the 14 & 15 year old scouts. Kristi was invited to go with a friend on another boat. They found a beach and set up camp at 9PM. They ate chili dogs for dinner at 10PM!!! Any hot dog tastes good when you're hungry! They made a fire and fished for catfish until midnight. Kristi caught the first fish. They woke up early, fished from shore, and ate breakfast cereal. Mike caught two fish: a crappie and a large-mouth bass. Trevon caught a large-mouth bass. They tried fishing on the lake from the boat, but it was too windy. They found shore, ate lunch and headed home. Mike enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Trevon liked being with friends and fishing. Kristi collected shells. Cameron and Elise watched Mike fillet the crappie with fascination. They discovered it was female, as it had eggs inside. Today they fried her up!
Looks like they had a lot of fun! Reminds me of the camping trip we took with you guys when we were first married and went fishing. Seems like a hundred years ago doesnt it?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be fun to go as a family? A house boat, a few days, and your family would make a great time. Hope the prized fish tasted yummy...in a fishy sort of way.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was a super fun day - well except for the fishing and skinning the fish part - eewww - haha, It must be fun to live that close to places like that.
