Owen Goes Fishing

Last weekend Grampa and Grandma Higham, Auntie Collette and Ryan came up and we went to Bear Lake for some fishing.
While it didn't rain, the wind was so bad that the waves on the lake were gigantic. It was a little bit cold, too.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, we still toughed it out, set up our chairs, put our poles together and got ready to get frustrated.
Every time we cast a line it got snagged in between rocks. Dad finally had enough after having to cut his line fo the sixth time and retie a new hook and sinker he decided to call it a day.
In fact, the only one who caught anything was Grandma Higham. She caught two fish on one line (she used two hooks) and then a while later caught another fish. Unfortunately all three fish were carp (though they were pretty big). Here's a picture of Grandma with her two fish she caught at one time. Grampa and Dad horn in on the picture to make it look like they caught the fish (actually they were taking the hooks out to throw the fish back in).

Owen didn't do much fishing. He mostly stayed bundled up and sat in Mommy's lap, unless she went fishing, then he sat with Auntie Collette.

After a while of not catching anything, we headed back for home, but not before we stopped and had a raspberry shake while we were still in Laketown. Afterwards, Grampa and Grandma and Collette and Ryan stayed the night with us and we ordered hot wings from Wingers and watched a movie. The next day after breakfast we all got ready and went to the movies. Dad wanted to see Star Trek but he was out voted and instead we all saw the movie "Up".

Owen seemed to enjoy the movie, but not as much as he enjoyed playing the straws on everyone's drinks and licking the tops of the seats in front of him. He didn't wear the 3-D glasses for too long, but all in all he had a wonderful time. Especially afterward because he was such a good boy Dad bought him a toy--a Darth Vader action figure! Owen thought it was the coolest!
