Busy Weeks!

We have been busy the last 2 weeks! We took a day trip down to the town of Mona and went fishing at these beautiful natural springs (that I of course can't remember the name of!). The kids enjoyed being there, and it wasn't bad fishing either! We also saw two blue herrings (I'm not sure I'm spelling it right!) that were amazing! My nephew Brad was actually casting when one of the big birds flew by and it wrapped around it! We were worried about what was going to happen, but when the bird got to the end of the line, it barely struggled and then broke the line and flew away, much to our relief!!



Then, last Saturday, Eden, Isaac and I visited Antelope Island with my sister-in-law and her daughter. It was a lot of fun, and we saw a lot of wildlife! We drove by a small herd of Antelope (at least, that's what I'm assuming these are!), and at the ranch, we saw a real barn owl and Eden loved looking at the horses! We also saw Buffalo (but not close enough to get a good picture), rabbits, lots of types of birds, and even a fox!! It was a lot of fun!
The day the kids and I went to Antelope Island, Rob was with our nephew at Pineview res. fishing for Tiger Muskie! They went with a professional fisherman who had a nice bass boat, and spent the whole day catching perch, cropie, and yes, they did catch a few tiger muskie as well! Brad, my nephew, caught one first, then Rob caught one, and then at the end of the day, Rob caught another one on his own pole with only 4 lb tess line, which was amazing because the thing weighed 20 pounds and was 39 inches long! He could have kept it if it had been 40 inches, but since it wasn't, he had to throw it back! He forgot our camera, so he had to buy a disposable camera, and I have to figure out how to scan the picture onto the computer so I can post a picture of the thing! It was awesome! Tiger Muskie are not easy or typical to catch, so it was a pretty amazing thing to get two! I'll post pictures as soon as I can of that one!
