Fishin' With Dad

Last week Levi had his first Father-son outing. A trip to Grandma and Grandpas house to hike and fish the great outdoors! The top picture is Devils Tower located in Wyoming. They had the chance to hike to the base and it is a pretty good jot! Only rock climbers can actually do the Tower. There are thousands of prariedogs around the wilderness there. They built those domes so you can see the underground and see them up close. It is so amazing to watch those critters and all of the mounds they make. I am glad they are not in my backyard.

The weather for fishing was about 30 degrees, rainy and cold. It was refreshing for them to get away from the heat. Levi caught a total of 70 fish in two days! They were mostly rainbow trout and sunfish. I think he will be disappointed if he fishes here because you have to work a little harder to be so successful. They threw them back except for a few that they took home cleaned and cooked for dinner. Notice the beaver dam in the background, you can see them all around the lake.

They also went to South Dakota to Reptile Gardens. It is in the Black Hills and is extremely beautiful.Levi was able to touch snakes and alligators which is a young boys dream. He came home with a cool tooth necklace for his souvenir. He brought home a lovely buffalo necklace for his brothers and sister.

His special time with Daddy left me at home for a few days by myself. I have not been alone in my house at least since Nolan was born (18 years), WOW! The other kids were at camp and the house was so quiet, but that is another post:-)
