We went fishing several times to a nearby reservoir. This little reservoir is only about 20 minutes away, but in all the years I have been here, I have never actually seen it. We have driven by, but never stopped. Back in May my husband and sister-in-law bought fishing licenses and not wanting to waste them, we have been fishing several times. The lake is stocked with fish each spring, so they aren't very big trout, but they are very tasty. The kids seem to enjoy it for a while, and then their attention wavers and they go exploring. When it is not raining, or too windy, it can be really fun. These photos are from the first time I was able to go.

Peter seems to be the only one afraid of worms.
Cristine caught a ladybug.
Rick has had a great time. There were several evenings where we were huddling in the car, trying to warm up while Rick was trying to catch one more fish. I didn't get any photos of the fish, but you wouldn't have believed how big they were. They were 'this' big, and we caught lots. Actually, they were only about 6-8 inches long and my photo of them wasn't that great.
Rick's mom, Hana, passed away June 21. The photos from my nephew's wedding have become very special. We have really missed Grammy, what a sweet, fun lady!

fishing sounds like it's a fun adventure for all of you. it's neat that you have found new things that everyone can do together.
sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. *hugs*
How fun! What a great family activity. We'll have to come and go fishing with you one weekend.
Hope all is going well. We love you guys.
That lake is beautiful! What is it's name and where is it? I love all the pictures, especially the one of Hana. Whenever I use my crocheted washcloths I think of her and her generosity.
Hey Rick and Heather,
That looks like Kingsley reservoir.
It was sure nice to visit you guys when we came up for Auntie Hana's funeral. She was the best Aunt a person could have!
