Fishing Fun at the Cabin

One of our family's favorite things to do in the summer is to go to Grandpa's cabin!! It is nestled in the beautiful pine trees of Manti Canyon. It offers all of the usual outdoor activities including a nice reservoir to fish at! This is a great place for beginning fishermen to feel very successful! I can remember going here when I was my kid's ages and having my dad cast the line and then letting me reel the fish in! (He would conveniently hand me the pole...after hooking the fish...and ask me if I could feel anything tugging on the line!) But eventually, I learned to cast, catch and clean the fish all by myself. It is so fun sharing this same tradition with our own children!


And watching them help each other!

Kaycee is getting better with her casting!
Abbie is looking out for the "deers and bears".
Janey has overcome her fear of the flopping fish!
Coleman decided this one wasn't worth keeping! We mostly catch and "release" which is half the fun for him!

It often turns into a group project....landing the big one!
And everyone has their opinion of what needs to happen next!
But once we have conquered the quest....
everyone is happy!!
