First time out in the waters

We finally fullfilled one of Daves dreams and got us a little fishing boat. Our neighbor up the street was having a yard sale and Dave was able to pick up this boat with the engine for a sweet deal. We have been dying to try it out since we got it, but we have been so busy. Today didnt have anything pressing to get done so we decided to give it a go. We launched it at willow park and just cruised up the Jordan river. The sun came out just as we were and it was so nice. The kids LOVED it! (except Briggs- he didnt love his life jacket) Aspen was a little nervous at first but then she was the one that kept saying "faster, faster, go faster Daddy". We didnt go very long, just long enough to get a feel for it and make sure everything works on it. We couldnt be happier!

Dave helping Kaylee get her fishing pole rigged up. She wanted to fish so Dave just put on a spinner and let her drag it behind us. She didnt catch anything today, but shes excited to catch lots this summer.


Briggs all done up in his life jacket..hes thrilled! :) the poor thing couldnt hardly move but he was patient and very good. He got to where he forgot about it and liked to watch where we were going.

Honestly I was a little nervous about taking all the kids out, but I had so much fun and so did they! We look forward to many more trips out in the ol boat but, hopefully with some big fish to bring home too!

  1. How Fun! I'm glad you guys got to get out and do something fun together as a family. It's crazy how much Briggs reminds me of Joseph :) and once when we were looking back through pictures Nick thought Caden was him.

  2. Looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to try it myself in May. I'm sure glad that Dave finds all these sweet deals for you.
