Fishin' the Missouri with Dane

Monday we decided to give Dane a special day.  He's been missing his Daddy since Clint switched to afternoons, so we thought that a special day fishing on the River might be a lot of fun for him.  So, Kimber went to daycare and we hiked down to the Missouri for the morning.  It is a tough place to take Kimber at this point anyway.  She only wants to be on my back for a while or if we are hiking and then she wants down.  She is walking but not that great and as you will see from the pictures it was really muddy.  Plus, Dane felt pretty special!  Here are some pictures from our great day!

Dane's getting his Daddy a minnow.

 My special catch...  yes that's right.  It's a carp!  They actually fight pretty good! 
 Dane actually caught the first bass of the day!
 Dane's pretend "sailboat".  He talked Clint into riding his "sailboat" with him.  It was pretty darn cute!
 It was truly a little boys paradise.  Look at all that mud!


We all had a really fun time. It was pretty hot though, I think it got up to about 104 here yesterday, which is hot for Montana.  Luckily we had a nice cool sprinkler to run through last night!
In addition, today I got some good news.  I lucked out and drew a bull elk permit for the Beartooth Mountains which is a pretty great area.  I am SO EXCITED and can't wait to start hiking and scouting!
