A Fishing We Did Go!

This past Saturday, we enjoyed a fishing excursion with friends in the Cimarron Canyon.

It was a picturesque place for hooking trout...

...and enjoying fellowship in the beauties of God's creation!

Several chipmunks kept us greatly entertained as they snacked on the sunflower seeds that were thrown to them.

Such cute little critters!


Cool Dude Isaac.

Enjoying the fresh mountain air!

Look who caught a fish!

Getting help extracting the hook.

So proud of his first fish of the day! 
(He caught a total of three by the end of the day.)

Off to the river it goes again to await the fate of its neighbors.

Somebody is ready for a nap!

Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn?

Hoping for some more nibbles...

Riverside beauty.


Whatdyaknow? Chipmunks love spicy Dorito sticks! (They must be Latino!)

Believe it or not, this is called a Blue Jay around here.  That's definitely not what blue jays back in Houston look like!  Something about the mountain air must give them mohawks.

Nathan and his first catch of the day!

The ever-present visitor at our picnic site.

(Don't worry; I wasn't actually this close to him.  I just have a good zoom on my camera!)  

Isaac says hi!

Such a happy boy!

By the end of day, seven fish went home for dinner!

Awww that's lovely. That was very nice of you and your husband to take the children fishing.
