Fishing/Island Park

We went to Island Park last weekend with some of Matt's family, the Keller side, and had a great time. Parker was invited to go with grandpa & grandma C. a day early and he was thrilled about that. He went with them on Thursday and they said he was a perfect angel! What? who's kid are they talking about?? I guess he know when to be good! Matt and I went up on Friday night and took Paige and Paxten with us. Since we arrived a day later we missed the big fishing adventure Parker and Grandpa C. went on. Parker caught a big cut-throat trout. (of course with help from grandpa, he hooked it and then let Parker reel it in) Parker was so excited and couldn't wait to show it to us when we arrived. It was about 12-14 inches long and weighed about 3 lbs. I am surprised that he was able to hold on to the pole to reel it in. He had so much fun with grandpa on the boat and couldn't wait to go out into the water again. I will just mention how nervous it made me to have him out on Henry's Lake. I was a wreck just thinking about it. I am sure going to get him into swimming lessons next summer. We had a fun weekend full of good food, laughter, cards, and mosquitoes, they were the only bad thing! The kids were sad when we had to come home. Back to life, back to reality. We sure love having such a great family and that they are all so close and love to hang out with each other!
