Rafting and Fishing

This Saturday, we went to see Mark and Kris (Ryan's parents) while they were camping at the Timpooneke campgrounds. While at the camper, we had some lunch and did some visiting.
Jared had fun being able to bang on the camper windows while sitting on Grandma's lap.


After a while we drove in Mark and Kris's van to the Deer Creek Reservoir to go rafting and fishing. They already had the "Fish Hunter" blown up, so we just tied it to the dock and climbed in.



Jared was all decked out in sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, and his floaty swim suit. He looked pretty cute!
Mark and Ryan rowed us out in the middle of the reservoir. That was a priceless sight to see. They couldn't decide on where to go, so they both seemed to be trying to row in two different directions. It was pretty hilarious! They were curving back and forth and trying to figure out what was going on on the other side of the raft. It didn't take too long, though, to find a good spot. It was a pretty cozy raft, which made it all the more fun.


Ryan and I brought our fishing poles and tackle box, so we did the fishing and Mark and Kris lounged and relaxed. Kris brought some Salmon eggs to bait the trout. We didn't catch anything, but we had a good time. We noticed as we were fishing that we were drifting to the other side of the reservoir, so we rowed over to a buoy and I tied us to it. It worked out nicely. When we were ready to head back to the dock we had to decide whether we wanted to row all the way back or row to the nearest shore and then walk the rest of the way. After some convincing and going in a couple circles, Ryan and Mark agreed to let me be Sacagawea;D and help row us in. Ryan and I rowed pretty well together. By the time we were back to shore I don't know if Ryan even broke a sweat, but I was pretty tired. We deflated the raft and headed to Heber for dinner at Dairy Keen. :)
