Fishin' The Green...

This past weekend we went camping and fishing at Flaming Gorge and floated the Green River. What an amazing place! We just love it. There were two seperate times on our trip that I was in awe at this world God has created for us. I made my kids stop and just look around them while we were on the river, to just appreciate this beauty that we have. The other moment was when I walked down to the lake from our campground and came through the trees and saw this opening to the lake and my five kids playing and fishing with their dad, and I just knew that's what life is all about. (unfortunately about 2 minutes later the baby threw a fit, Brandon's fishing line got caught in the rocks, Braden tripped and fell..... You get the picture!!)

Fun times around the campfire telling stories and eating smores...

My oldest and youngest just hanging out by the river!

Dad spending some time with his little girl by the fire...

For any of you that love spongebob as much as our family, we've always wanted to leave a "pineapple under the sea" on the green. So this year we brought our pineapple and made a little spongebob and left it for the fishermen to see....
The girls had so much fun at the back of the boat listening to ipods and just giggling away....
Fun times..

Cute pic of Camryn fishing off the front of the boat..


We have a picture of all our kids at the front of the boat around this age. She looks SO dang cute! Wish I could say she acted that way. NO, she threw a fit on the boat so loud all the fishermen were looking at us, I'm sure it echoed down the whole river!!

Brandon was our lucky fisherman this trip! He caught about 9 fish!!

Nice job Brandon! I love the pineapple. I don't watch Spongebob so I think if I did, it would be even more fun! ha.
You guys looked like you had a blast. I love the campfire pic! Great memories were made!
