Camping at San Rafeal

ETHAN & CALEB OUR DIRTY BOYS

We went camping with Marcie and Beau down at San Rafael by Castle Dale. We had a fun time playing in the dirt and chasing lizards. Ryan, Marcie, Beau and friends went river rafting on the San Rafael river. The boys think camping is so cool and want to go again soon.

Our Camping View

Ethan's first fish!
After packing up our camping stuff, we went to a near by reservoir to see if the fish were biting. I was casting the line out for Ethan and letting him reel it in. After a few times, he was reeling it in and I looked down. There was a fish on the line. Ethan was so excited! He was yelling and jumping up and down. This was the first fish that he caught.

Later Caleb helped Ryan pull in a fish on his line. He wasn't as excited as Ethan, but I know that he enjoyed being by the water. He would go in and then say that it was too cold and get back out again.
We are looking forward to going camping and fishing more this summer. Ryan has gotten our boat up and running. I know that he is looking forward to going out soon. (This weekend)

The Holt Family Outing

The Zoo

Dave, Heather, William
Ethan, Ryan and Caleb.
We went to the zoo already this summer. The boys thought it was really cool to run around looking at all the animals. Caleb was so upset because he wanted to go in and play with the white alligator. We tried to explain that it just isn't possible to play with it. He just didn't understand. Ethan loved growling at the tiger. After awhile the tiger got bored, got up and moved away so he wouldn't have to hear. We went with Ryan's great Aunt Shirley and while we were there we ran into our friends Dave and Heather Boone and their son William. We only stayed for a few hours and will be going again. We have a year pass and are planning to go with other family members and friends.
