And One Little Piggy Stayed Home........

Denver going after some trout

Monica being silly. (But she wanted trout too!!!)

Dillon would still be in this spot if we did not make him come home.

We went on another adventure, this time to "Fisherman's Point" on Haigler Creek. Again. This one of our new sweet spots. It is off the beaten path, but still easy to get to. It was a beautiful weekend.

Morgan sustained some injuries while sliding in to home, and scoring the only run for her team. She is playing softball for the Cortez Colts. We missed her so much on this trip. Especially her stories and humor around the campfire. We were also short one pack to distribute our supplies for the weekend, but that is not why we missed her. Really. We decided she is coming next time, even if we have to borrow an electric cart from the grocery store!!

We caught two trout and they were yyyyyyuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyy!!!! Denver continued his tradition and ate their brains. One of the trout was really big and on the larger fish, the boys like to cut open their stomachs to see what they ate. When I was taking him off the hook, a crawdad came out of his mouth! He had three more crawdads in his stomach!! One very hungry trout for some hungry RINGS !!

We had a "father to sons" learning experience while we were there. The boys wanted to throw their hatchets and stick them in trees. I explained to them that they needed special throwing hatchets and lots of practice or it would not work. Dillon proved me wrong by standing about twelve feet away from a tree and perfectly throwing his hatchet into it. I did not authorize this event and they were doing it off in the distance where they thought we could not see, but I saw it and it was pretty cool. I am not exactly sure who learned what, but it did not go as I planned it. (Typical Ring style.)

As you can see from the pictures, this is one of those places that is just paradise. Perfect. We were very sad that one little piggy had to stay home................
