Family Reunion Trip, Day 29

Jacob and I left to go fishing around 0900. It was an hour drive to get to the ponds. These are the same ponds Cath and I used to take the boys camping and fishing when we were stationed at Ft Lewis. The whole area has improved and is now Camp Wooten State Park. I told Jacob stories about his Dad and Uncle fishing and eating the marshmallows we used for bait. I think the boys were probably 8 and 6 years old.
Here's a pic of Jacob and Kaylee fishing.

And here's the best pic of the day; Jacob's first trout! He got it in all by himself, but would not touch it. He said that's something he doesn't do. I guess we'll have to work on that...LOL

Jacob and I got home around 1600. I grabbed a shower and then we all headed out to Umatilla National Forest to meet Jason, Melisa, and family. We roasted hot dogs and brats over the fire. Maggie provided Strawberry Shortcake and whipped cream. It was delicious!

Here's a couple of pics of the view from our outing.

A few more pics of the gathering.

We had a fun time catching up on old times.

One more pic. All the kids had a blast and Jacob was happy to be with some kids his own age. He is going over to their house tomorrow afternoon to play with them.

The drive up to this place was probably 20 miles from Bob and Maggie's house. 15 miles of this was on dirt roads. The dust was terrible. Driving behind Bob was like being in a fog. The truck is dirtier then I ever seen it, and it will take me all day tomorrow to clean it up. Dust even got into the truck bed and covered everything, but it was worth it, we had a really fun time.
Got home and off to bed right away, it's been a long day.
