Labor Day

We decided to spend Labor Day fishing at Mirror Lake. We got up bright and early and arrived at the lake around 9:30. We had tons of fun fishing.
Kate was a little unsure about the fishing, but she sure enjoyed her cream soda!


I would have to say the highlight of the day was when Gavin got a big bite while we were all messing around and not paying attention to his pole. The monster fish drug his pole right into the water, about 10 feet from the shore. Gavin was in tears and Travis immediately rolled his pants up and went in, shoes and all, after Gavin's pole. He saved the pole! What a hero :) Unfortunately, we never got to see the fish.



We finished up at Mirror Lake and drove to Trial Lake for lunch. We sat by a campfire and grilled hot dogs. It was so quiet and peaceful. I loved skipping out on the daily distractions and focusing all of my attention on the family.


Travis drove home barefooted. Thank goodness he didn't get hypothermia ;)
I love my family. This was the best day we've had in a long time!!!

That's so funny, same thing happened to Megan today as well! Fish dragged the pole into the water, but we were able to save the pole and fish.
