It was a wonderfully warm and sunny weekend. And we finally made it into the mountains today. Yeah! We had a picnic in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Then the boys wanted to try some fly fishing. Nick caught his first fish with a fly rod!! A rainbow trout, and he waded into the water to pick it up himself! Unfortunately I was too busy chasing the baby to record the moment. Sorry Nick! Next fish for sure.
A little spring time scenery for you. There is still snow up in the high country, so the water is really frigid.
Ellie did her best to catch a fish with her stick. She did manage to catch some water plants. And she was pretty happy with that.
William wore his fly fishing t-shirt in solidarity, but we didn't let him near the water. He spent the afternoon climbing all over the picnic table and trying to decide if pine needles are edible.
William we have discovered, is NOT a road trip kind of a guy. He enjoyed the climbing part and the picnic, but he was a real stinker for the rest of the trip. Shrieked in his car seat, and tantrumed in the carrier on our feeble attempt at a hike. He is going to have to get with the program, as the rest of the family is ready to explore this summer!
