Papa John was here on Jareds birthday, so we decided to go fishing up at Silver Lake (right by Brighton Ski Resort) and see if we could catch anything. . .Did we ever!!! It was the best day of fishing ever!! I don't think they had their lines out more than 10 seconds, and they'd get a bite, it was ridiculous!!! And a lot of fun. Cohen and Evan both caught their first fish, or rather, helped reel in their first fish. Now the only trouble is that Cohen has the wrong idea about fishing. He thinks that 'casting your line in the water and almost immediately reeling it it' is fishing. . .not 'cast your line into the water and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait, recast and wait some more, and finally go home with nothing'. He hasn't seen the boring side of fishing!!! It was really cute to see him fish with his daddy and Papa though. We ended up bringing home 10 trout, and that was after throwing a lot back!!

And then we saw so much wildlife you would have thought we were at the zoo. It was crazy!

Here's Cohen with his first fish ever! At this point we thought we were just lucky to have one, so we let him reel it in.

Papa helped Cohen catch this fish, so here they are together.

Here's Evans. I did take a picture of him reeling it in, but it was all blurry.

This one is cute of Jared and Cohen fishing together. (Jared had to wear my jacket because of the bugs, thats why its so tight!!)

The successful fishermen!!! If you're looking, you can see all those fish hooked onto the chain.

Cohen and Papa with thier catch.

All of a sudden, 2 moose came running through the field right next to us. They were running crazy, and kinda scary, but eventually settled into eating so we could walk back to our car. This is just a picture of one of them, but there were 2, I promise.

And then we saw a beaver swimming through the lake. . .
And then a deer came bounding by. . .can you see it bound? :)

And there were two MORE moose over by the parking lot! What?! Crazy!! Now my kids have a false sense of the great outdoors, thinking it's ton's of fish in an hour, plus all the wildlife you can handle, right?!
