Fishing

On last Sunday, while we were visiting Williams, AZ, we went fishing at White Horse Lake. Now White Horse Lake was about 10 miles from where we were camping. We could have taken actual roads to get there, but decided that a forest service road would a better route in the jeeps. This was a red hard packed dirt road that was awesome. The beautiful pine trees and the big and little house's nestled in the pine trees were spectacular.

When we arrived at White Horse Lake, this is what we found:



A beautiful lake with lots of fish, they said. There was a lot of people fishing. We found our good spot and started to put together fishing poles.


This is what Dennis is doing in this picture, of course he always had one (or two) kids around him waiting for their turn to fish.

In the meantime, Tatum had the container full of live worms and decided to open them and dump them out (I didn't get a picture) but it was too cute, she kept walking around saying "Ot-Oh", we figured out what she did after a few minutes. Only a few worms got away in the big escape.

Also Steve cut is middle finger with his knife pretty bad. It probably took us (him) an hour to get the bleeding stopped. It finally stopped bleeding, I really thought we were going to have to find the closest medical center for some stitches, but it has been healing good.


You can see him in this picture with his hand up but also fishing.

Cody has Tatum's fishing pole here and trying to catch a shark (that's what he told me!).

Here are some other pictures of us fishing:

Every time we would get the fishing line casted for the boys, they would start reeling in and somehow get the fishing line so tangled up that it would take another 15 minutes to get it untangled.

About 2 hours after we got there, we looked over to our left and realized that a lot of the other people fishing had left because in the sky there was a huge thunder cloud as dark as night, over head. You should have seen us grab the kids and our fishing poles and we got out of there. It had taken us 2 hours to set everything up and probably 2 minutes to get out of there and to the car. It was probably a sight to see from a distance!

Needless to say, we never did catch any fish, but what an experience.
