Labor Day Wrap-up

John and I both ended up being off on Labor Day this year, so we decided to take the kids on the mountain to fish and barbeque. We've been suffering through 150 degree weather with no a/c (ok, maybe it's not *that* hot, but you know what I mean!) so a trip up the mountain was just what the doctor ordered. When we got to the top, it was 59 degrees....niiiice!

This was Caleigh's first fishing trip, and she was REALLY excited! Somehow she ended up with the largest rod. John started rigging it up, and I told him just to leave it without a hook. It's not like she would really care anyway, right? So, he put a weight on the end and gave it to her. She loved it! She kept saying "fishing" and yelling "a bite!". The people next to us kept looking over to see what she was catching. It was really cute :)

At one point, I took several of the (noisy) kids to the bathroom. While we were gone, John just happened to catch a fish. We couldn't quite figure out why the fish weren't biting when all the kids were there ;-)

Since we were there on Monday, most of the people who went up to camp had already headed down, so we basically had the entire mountain to ourselves. After we had our fill of fishing, we headed down to one of our favorite camping areas, Soldier Creek and grilled some hot dogs and roasted marshmallows.
