Kolob Adventures

Saturday we went up to Kolob Mountain. It was my bro-in-laws birthday, so he had a little family get together. It is SOOOO pretty up there. Too bad it was so fetchin cold! I swear it got down to like 30 degrees. Yucky weather. But it was nice to get out.

THe kids found these nasty little caterpillar guys. Jax loved to watch the kids play with them but wasn't so sure about playing with them himself.

see Jax's head poking through there?

I thought this was pretty funny. Uncle Tyler took the kids for rides with his scooter. The kid carrier is tied to the scoother with rope. I wanna say redneck, but the scooter looks too nice. Maybe a city redneck, if those exist. No, I didn't let Jaxon ride, don't worry. Maybe next year!

Then we went fishing.

Here is a funny story:

Andrew loves to fish, but doesn't get to very much. The last time we went up to Kolob Res. was when we were first married. We decided to be cool and rebellious and fish without a license. Well , of course we got caught & landed our newly-wed butts with a nice $80 ticket to make for a memorable first camping trip. This time, we decided to just play it smart and buy a frickin fishing license which are $30! All went well, & Andrew actually caught a fish! Maybe the good luck came from being honest people and paying for the license! Well, yesterday (Monday), Andrew was reading through his little fishing manual and could hardly believe what he saw: Saturday, June 6th 2009, is FREE FISHING DAY. Everyone can fish for free that day! We happen to choose the one day out of the year that's free to all, to buy a license. Why didn't someone tell us that? Like, hmmm, I don't know, the people who sold him the stupid license that day! Wow. Isn't that ironic? We weren't too surprised cause seriously that's the luck we've had with eachother since day 1. Kind of funny, kind of sad.

Moving on...

Pretty lake.

First time fishing for Jax.

Me - pretending to be fishing, because I only wish I was that cool.

Wha?? We caught one!!!!



Jaxon was concerned.

Then excited.

Then wanting to give kisses cause that's what he does.

Proud Andy-man.

The lovely flowers. I was lucky enough to have an old man stop his truck and inform me that these blue flowers are the 2nd most poisonous plant in the world. Hmmmm....
