Jonathan has had Scott Rigdon's boat out on loan and wanted to get one more trip out of it before returning it so a fishing he did go! I LOVE fishing. I really do, and wanted to go with him but yesterday I just had that feeling of fall in the air, pears that were perfectly yellow, piles and piles of dirty clothes (from being neglected as I have been a slave to pears for the past 10 days), and a kitchen that was buried in canning jar rings, water bath canners, cookie sheets with jars of sticky pears needing to be washed, labeled, and put away. There were no clean white shirts for the Sabbath (it takes 5 of those around here), no milk in the fridge and so much work to be done, so he took the three big ones and I kept the little one and we divided and conquered. I would dare say my tasks for the day were easier than his. However, with much love and a lot of patience he managed to fish all afternoon with three hooligans on boat in the middle of Lake Lemolo. And they even caught a few!

| Matthew literally threw in his line as soon as they got to the lake and that very instant he caught a 15" rainbow trout. Way to go Idaho! |
 |
| Adam's "whopper" as he calls it was the largest rainbow trout. |
 |
| That's my husband, fishing until it is dark and trying to load the boat by the light of the moon. The boys with the catches of the day. Jonathan was the only one to catch a brown trout. |

| Andrew didn't catch a fish, but he was a proud part of the brotherhood. |

Them's some big fish! My hubby and kids love to go fishing, but no one really likes to eat them. I've got a few in the freezer right now!
I'm guessing they helped you with Sunday dinner? One less thing for you to worry about. Great memories for your boys!
