A Trip to Hells Canyon

It was my mother-in-laws birthday this weekend and she really wanted to take a drive and get out of town. They have been remodeling there house for the last 4 months or so and she needed a break. Joshs family is rather large so going somewhere with all of them is never a small feat.

We all loaded up ( 4 cars) and headed out on Saturday at 9:00.. only 1 hour later then planned (hey we are getting better)

















Of course we couldn't make it out of the driveway without the boys yelling at each other.

We saw so many animals along the way
















Including this goat with a collar on it... don't see that everyday!

Josh was so excited to get to the reservoir so he could fish... that is all he had been talking about for pretty much the whole week and was determined to get there and fish as much as possible.

















But by the time we had stopped at the 5th or possibly 6th gas station along the way.. the excitement had left and the irritation had set in. Hey we were traveling with a pregnant lady!


We finally made it to the park and Josh went straight to his pole and put it in the water. he fished and fished and fished and finally it paid off.

















He caught a 3 inch fish with his 9 foot pole. Good job hunny!!! Thank goodness he doesn't have to catch our meals for us!

All in all we had a great day... we didn't get home until almost midnight that night but had such a good time.. and what a beautiful area!
