Fish On!

Finally the secrets are all out! We’ve been planning a surprise for Jordan for months. My parents are throwing him a graduation party and as a surprise me and Royal and the kids, and Kaylee and her family were coming! Me and the kids ended up coming early when my grandma got sick, but Jordan had no idea Royal was coming, and even though we’ve about blown the surprise a ton of times, Jordan never quite caught on that Kaylee and her family were coming too. Royal flew in last Wednesday and finally today Kaylee her her family got here from Pennsylvania! So me and Royal and the kids are now back at my parents house at the lake, with Kaylee and her family. But since Royal has been here, we’ve been “hiding” down in Kelso with his family, and there has been tons of fishing goin’ on. Royal’s been getting up around 4ish to get on the river and finally get to some fishin’ that he’s been really missing out in Kansas. He told me today that in the past 4 days, he’s caught 18 fish! Most of them had to go back in river because they were wild, but we’ve got a bunch to stick in our freezer! Wooooo! Hooooo!

Here’s Royal’s first fish. You will also be able to tell this was pre-haircuts! ;)



These are the fish from day#2!





Jayden was really starting to warm up to this fish and gave it a big ole kiss! Royal was pretty pumped about it. :)



The next couple days were a bit of a dud out on the river and Royal didn’t manage to bring anything home. Big ole bummer. But that afternoon Fireball, Royal, and Gabe took Jayden out on his first fishing trip in the boat out on the river and went harvest trout fishing. From what I hear, Jayden LOVED it! And he brought home a couple harvest trouts. We don’t eat them, but Royal’s grandma loves ‘em so we kept them for her!
Here is Jayden with his first fish!





Then this morning Royal went out and snagged one more fish for us! Jayden brought out the measuring stick to make sure Royal wasn’t makin’ up how big it was.
