The Great Fishing Adventure

We spent the weekend enjoying the great outdoors in beautiful Colorado.
You probably are thinking what is so different about that?
Well this weekend we went west toward the mountains, instead of east towards the dirt track.
 
(I think Case was channeling Spiderman in this picture!)
 
We started out Saturday heading to Grandma Cheryl's and Papa J's for a weekend of fun.
This was the first time the boys went fishing and lets say that was an adventure.
 
Step one: teach them to cast.
 
Case's fishing pole came with a practice weight also known as his yittle yeyyow fish (little yellow fish).  This was more of an adventure then we expected!
After catching a few trees (and neighbors) at Grandma's house they were casting pros. So we were ready for the lake.
 
Step two: keep them from falling into the lake.
 
The boys where so excited to fish we thought they where going to jump in and catch them with their bare hands.  
 

 
Unfortunately we didn't catch any fish but we also didn't have to fish any boys out of the lake thankfully.
 
We had a great time fishing, hiking, throwing rocks in the river, and just enjoying our beautiful state. I am so proud to be the mom to these great kids and I love seeing the world through their eyes.
 
Sometime as adults we need to remember to bring our kid glasses and remember the feeling of adventure. It didn't cost us a thing and we didn't need wifi but we did see some gorgeous views of nature and enjoyed the fresh air.
 
We had a great weekend, we are recharged and ready for the weekend of racing ahead of us.
