Fishing at Flaming Gorge

OK, Stacy is always wanting me to write something on the blog so here you go. The kids and I went fishing after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. We did our annual trip to Flaming Gorge and Mustang Ridge. It was another successful trip. We were suppose to have rain, but we only got wind. We caught a total of 29 fisher between us (me, Abby and Austin), Kelly, and Dad (Terry Sr.). Kelly, of course showed us all up by catching the most, 14, fish. The highlight for me though, was Abby caught 4 all by herself. We were using worms and a bubble and so I would cast it out and have her watch the bubble. As soon as it went down then she would reel in. She loved it and caught the 4 with out any help from me. The other highlight of the trip was the net. Both Abby and Austin loved to use the net to get the fish into the bank. They were really good at it also. We usually do this trip in one day, but we decided this time to spend the night. So, we rented a condo at the Flaming Gorge Lodge. The kids said "it was so much better than a hotel!" It was nice because we did not have to get up early to go nor get back. We were able to fish until we got tired and then go get a good nights sleep and fish again the next day. I loved being with my kids. I love seeing them climb on the rocks, or over trees. I love seeing them play together. I love seeing their faces as they caught the fish and then even more as they touched them. They are wonderful kids.

New York

Ok, guess were we went? No, I am not going to tell you. You have to guess from the picture! OK I will tell you. Terry and I went to New York!! Terry had a customer he was flying back for a large demo and so I went along with him. It was a short trip, but a fun one. We went to two plays on Broadway. The first was Tale of Two Cities and it was out of this world. In fact, I liked it better than Wicked which we saw the next day. Not to say that Wicked was bad, it was just that the singing talent in Tale of Two Cities was that good. We also saw ground zero and it was a strange felling still to be down there. We also saw Times Square.

It is also fall and the colors are out of this world. Terry is having to much fun with the camera.

First Snow

We just had our first snow storm for the year. Yes go figure. It is only the second week in OCT and we had at least 2 inches fall at our house. It fell on a Saturday night and so when the kid woke up Sunday morning they were besides themselves. "Dad can we get our snow clothes on?" "Dad where are my boots?" "I can't find my gloves." Well, all of their clothes were out in the garage and so we had to go out in the cold to get them. After we found the bins of cloths we then remembered that most of their stuff they had out grown last year and so we gave them to DI with plans on getting new clothes this year. So we had to mix and match and bundle them up so they could go outside. It really was pretty. It only lasted a few days because by Wed the temperature was back up to 65-70 and the snow was gone.

We know that we have not done very many updates, but we have been busy with really nothing. We did a far amount of traveling during the summer that now we are just catching up and getting things prepared for Winter. Terry and I are going to New York next week. He has a customer that he is taking back there and so I am going to tag along. I have never been to NY and so I am very excited. Bonnie, my good friend, is going to met me there and we are going to tour NY on Tuesday while Terry is at work. Tuesday night we are going to go see "tale of two cities" on Broadway. Wed will be more site seeing and then seeing "Wicked" on broadway at night. It will be a short trip, but who cares. WE ARE GOING TO NEW YORK!!!!!!!!! Can't wait.

Fun with Friends
