Fishing!

The kids just got back from fishing with grandma: here is their catch

Ryan pulled his big one (about 15 inches) on his first cast.

Sarah pulled her big one out (about 17 inches) a little later on.

My mom says these are the biggest fish she has seen out of the huck finn pond.

Of course my kids won't hold the fish on their fingers.. too slimy :)

backpacking with dad

Here are a few pictures of the kids. Clark took them backpacking a couple of weeks ago. They did great. In the picture above they are throwing rocks into the river (clark said they did that for like an hour). In the picture below the kids are sporting their backpacks, and the river that they ended up crossing with the help of a tree that Clark put across for them to walk along. They hiked about a mile in and had a blast.
