Family Fishing Trip to Birch Creek (July 18)

Saturday Chris and I had the opportunity to take a few, out fishing to Birch Creek. There we met up with Robert Bird and his family. We fished for a couple of hours, enjoyed the beauty that surrounded us, and were able to eat roasted hot dogs and s'mores.

Those who joined us in our little adventure were: Brandon & Bridger (Chris' cousins); Mekelle (my sister); Brooklyn (our niece), Michael (don't know his last name, but he is Brooklyn's friend), Kelly (our brother-in-law) Robert and Jill (Chris' cousin) plus their kids: Ashlyn, Megan, Gracie, Brigham and Austin.

The beautiful view around us.

Quietly waiting for one to nibble.

Determination paying off.

He finally lands it.

(Kelly caught the most fish, for a total of 3)

Bridger not wanting to go home empty handed, but unfortunately he never caught one.

The bright yellow contrasting bird against the orange encrusted rock was a real treat to see.

Chris relaxing after everyone's poles were set up.

All I caught was Chris looking surprised that I was taking his picture.
