The last couple weeks have been unseasonably wet... and that means our front yard is a big mud pit. Not really conducive to continuing the project... although Clint gets an "A" for effort on continuing to try!
Anyway, since we had a couple days that we couldn't work in the yard, we decided to do some fishing!
We took a hike down to the River; enjoyed the hike, but didn't catch many fish. We think that maybe the pending storm turned off the bite. But, Clint and the kids still caught a couple goldeneyes.
This was kind of a cool picture, the fish started to wiggle just as I snapped the photo!
Totally my least favorite part of the spring... :(
Then one day Clint talked me into risking life and limb to cross the Missouri and fish the "promised land". Well, the fish weren't biting really great, but when we did hook up they were nice big pike! I'm not sure it was worth the white knuckle trip across the weather though... :)
Is it a good sign when he is putting duct tape on the "trusty boat" before the crossing?
Here is a picture of the one man kayak that we used to get across the river. Notice how I said it was a one man kayak. Yet, there was two of us... :) Hmmmmmm.... that should have given me a clue!
Actually, it went okay. I'm not sure I will do it again anytime soon, but we lived just fine and now we have a funny story to tell! We even made it out before the big rain showers hit!
