If you know Dustin very well, you know that one of his favorite things to do is go fishing. Usually, he only gets to fish at Pop's farm when we go to Texas. That is until now. Last summer, we tried to catch fish off the bay of Utah Lake but no luck. We had heard that the fishing was crazy good a few weeks ago, so we decided to go give it another try. We drove out to the dock, and the rangers told us there was a great spot just up stream. Off we went. He cast a few times then caught one! He was so excited!!! His first fish in Utah.
Then, he kept casting time and time again and still wasn't catching anything. This was really weird, because everyone else around was pulling them out just about every cast. A little frustrated, we were getting ready to leave when this really nice, really happy guy asked how many we caught. Dustin said one. The guy just couldn't believe it. He let Dustin borrow a lure, and give it another shot. He started catching more, and that's when it got super fun. It was crazy to watch, because as he was reeling in the bait, you could see about 5 fish following it in the water before one would snatch it. The next week or so, Dustin went fishing quite a bit, and with the right bait, he caught a ton of fish! One time, when he reeled in a fish, he went to get it off the hook when he realized he had hooked it in the fin! Crazy!
Now, he just wants to figure out how to catch those huge carp in the lake.
This is me just chillin' watching my HOT fisherman!!!

Caren,
Hey...nice blog! I have visited before, but it had been a while, so thanks for sending the site again. It is fun to catch up with you. Thanks again for making the shadow boxes with the dried roses. They are beautiful! That was really thoughtful of you. I know what you mean about summer--it is awesome! Heidi and I have been setting up our classrooms and it gets us a little more excited AND nervous that the summer is going to quickly...we mostly are just having fun! Love ya! Annie :)
so... nice beard. haha
Hey Hayden and my dad took a fishing class this past spring up provo canyon and he caught fish almost everytime they were there. Up at vivian park/south fork area in the provo river, might be worth looking into. The one we have a picture of was a 14 inch trout, not to shabby!
Oh and my point in coming here was to say thanks for letting us sit on your roof and watch fireworks it was a fun day!
The fireworks started right after we got off the roof but my little ones don't stay up that late and Meg was really tired. That field on fire was crazy I couldn't believe how fast the flames got high. Thanks for sharing your roof it was great to see you guys!
Congrats to Dustin! We need to go fishing the next time y'all are down!
