Gone Fishing!

We have been promising Brylie for months to go fishing ever since she got her new Barbie fishing pole. We just hadn't had the right opportunity to go with the birth of Sadie and all. Finally, a couple of weeks ago we planned a short fishing trip. We got up early one day and drove up through Zion Canyon, through the tunnels (Brylie's favorite part) and down a dirt road for a really long time until we arrived at Navajo Lake.

Brylie kept asking over and over again if we were there yet. Towards the end of the drive we noticed how quiet and peaceful it had become. Then we looked in the back seat and saw this.



After getting them up, we found a place to fish and started getting set up. It was actually really cool and we needed jackets! It's been a long time since we've needed jackets.

Brylie wasn't too interested in the actual fishing. Too much sitting and waiting involved. So she found a pet caterpillar to play with.

The wind started to pick up and poor Sadie had to stay bundled up in her car seat. She does not appreciate the wind.

Michael is getting Brylie's pole ready and they are getting set up.

I had an umbrella to set up and protect that sweet little bald head from the sun, but the wind was too strong to set it up.

The wind started getting stronger and stronger. I ended up taking Sadie up and sitting in the car with her because she kept getting her breath taken away in the wind.

Finally, after a few 50 mph wind gusts of chairs and fishing poles flying, we decided to give it up. Better luck next time. To finish off the day we drove down to Cedar City and had lunch. Next time I think we'll stay at one of the cabins at Navajo Lake so we can fish early before the wind picks up. Still it was an adventure.
