Ali ...putting her first worm on the hook!!
We had a very busy weekend. We went camping with Scott and family ( and Luann's dad from Wisconsin).We were at Duck Creek. Scott's family took off for the day to Bryce Canyon, while we came back home for Izzy's baptism. The rest of the time, we managed to get in some hiking and fishing, and lots of good food, and good company. A couple of years ago, we hiked to a geocache that was by a huge dead tree. We didn't mark the spot, and so this year we went hiking to find it again. Alex has a good memory and took us right to it. It is one of the biggest trees I have seen around here. While the guys went fishing alone, I stayed at the camp with the girls, and we went hunting for firewood. We came back to camp and I let them all take turns learning to use an ax. I told them that women can take care of themselves if we need to, and they needed to learn how to do this kind of stuff. They loved it. Doug cringed when he came back to camp and watched them chopping!!! On the trail, it was great to see that there is new life already growing after the devastation in the spring. The Aspens had new little branches starting to grow. Nature is so Awesome!!
