More fishing...

Blue Heron

We were certainly not alone in our fishing efforts. We saw quite a few large blue heron out and about. They love to eat trout as much as the rest of us do. They're really beautiful to watch & their very skilled at fishing.

Balance Beam.

Jesse and I were walking along one side of the water when suddenly the terrain became impossible. We had a decision to make. Find away across or hike backwards and cross where we originally did. Jesse decided we could make it across by balancing on this fallen tree. Yikes! Well he did and I followed and I'm proud to say neither of us fell in.

Cave exploration.

Along the path I saw a sign for a cave and no one else seemed interested so I went off and explored it myself. I didn't go too deep inside as I was alone and not to interested in getting hurt or lost in the dark.

 

 

 The fisherman.

Jesse had crazy good luck on his final day of fishing. He caught more than anyone else and even exceeded the legal limit by 1 fish, but we said we would cover for him since the rest of us were slacking in our efforts. If you can't tell he was totally giddy, like through the moon excited. I'm glad the fishing license as part of his birthday gift really paid off. 

Cleaning up.

 

After catching all those fish Jesse was so excited that he even learned how to and helped clean them.  He and mom enjoyed trout for lunch that day too. Which is all Jesse said he wanted. If he caught it he wanted to eat it. I think he had a good vacation and a great birthday.
