A night at the cabin

On Saturday we got up and were going to go fishing on the Missouri. (to our favorite "hike-in" spot). So, we packed everything up and off we went to Scheels to get some minnows... but they were all out. So, we decided to go to a little creek called Mill Coulee Creek to fish for some brown trout. Well, we got there and the Creek was really high and all muddy... so we went to our property to fish in the river and a bunch of rafters and kayakers came by right when we started! We were feeling a little bummed... NONE of our plans were working out. So, we got home and decided at 2:30 pm, lets go to the cabin... so off we went!!!
We got up there and I'm so glad we went. Dane had an exceptional time as did we. As you can see, they played in a big fun dirt pile!


I hardly pack any toys cause Dane (as I'm sure all toddlers do) makes everything into a toy! Here he is with a piece of kindling... just hanging out with dad!


I just thought this was cute


Dane running around like a crazy man! They are so busy at this age...

Sunday morning we got up and headed out to Elk Creek to do some stream fishing. It was so cool cause Clint caught a brown trout and two rainbow trout and I caught a brook trout. It was very neat to see such a variety of fish in one stream. Here is Clint with his brown trout.

Here is a close up of the brook trout. They are the most beautiful fish. This was actually a decent sized one. We normally only catch the little ones that live in beaver ponds.

Me and Dane with our big catch!!!


The scenery was fantastic!

After fishing we had a little picnic by the river in the shade of a bridge. It was a pretty warm day and after eating we thought, Dane would like to dip his feet in the cool water...

Boy were we wrong! After one little dip, he told us in no uncertain terms that he did not think we were funny and did NOT want to dip his feet in the water!!!

We also we lucky enough to get some incredible wildlife pictures, but I don't have time to post those right now. I will try to do it in the next few days! Take care everyone!

Looks like a fun time, how funny Dane is with the water.
