Fall Break Fishing

 On Friday, we headed up to the Uinta's to do some fishing.  We decided to fish Lake Washington and it was super pretty up there.  Most of the Fall color was gone, but it's always so peaceful, and we always have a great time as a family!
 We can not fit everyone on the boat so we go out in shifts.
 While and Lucy and I were waiting on the shore the most crazy thing happen.  There was a small tornado type wind by the lake.  I could hear this rushing down coming down the mountain and I could not figure it out.  It was so loud and I was starting to get nervous.  Was is water? rocks? I could see trees falling down the mountain.  Mike was in the Lake and started yelling.  All of a sudden I could see this wind tunnel coming down the mountain heading for Lucy and I.  I grabbed Lucy and we ran by a huge rock for protection.  It luckily passed by us, but branches and dirt were flying everywhere!  It was quite the adventure and  memory I will never forget.
 Lucy caught a bunch of fish!  She would get so excited and she would reel them in.  She was always so brave and would want to hold the fish and then let them go back in the water.

I even caught some fish!  It actually is so much fun in the canoe and we have a blast because we are catching a fish every 5 minutes!   We caught 22 fish that day, but we just caught them and then released them back in to the lake.  Once the sun went down it got really cold so, we headed back down in the valley for some dinner.  It was the perfect Fall activity!
