Labor Day Weekend!

We went up to my parent's house over Labor Day Weekend.  I took Friday off, but had a dentist appointment in the morning, plus we did a few other errands, so we didn't leave until 11am.  We made good time though and got there that afternoon.  Nyles was so excited to go visit Grandma and Grandpa on the farm and play with the toys there too.  It was a little cool that weekend, but we still had a good time there and enjoyed the outdoors.

Now w/ the trucks outside.

A cool hummingbird on mom's flowers.

Helping Grandma get some carrots out of the garden.

See!  It was a pretty big carrot. 

Dad and Steve of course went out fishing Saturday morning to Anderson Dam.  They were trying to catch Chinook Salmon this time, but only got a trout and a Kokanee.  Though they didn't catch many they still had a good time.

Nyles of course wanted to go on a ride w/ Grandpa on his motorcycle.  Chuck waiting for them to get back from their ride.

Yeehaw!  Enjoying the ride w/ Grandpa.  

They even saw a gopher trap.  Nyles thought it was pretty cool.

Monday morning before we headed out, we went over to some fishing ponds.  They're actually overflow ponds of fish that they raise then sell for food, like Tilapia.  Nyles thought it was pretty awesome since you literally put your line out, sometimes not even w/ bait, and they would bite it.  It was the easiest fishing I've ever seen.  We caught many fish needless to say.  Steve and my dad had a good time as well.  Since it was private property I even threw a couple casts out.

2 seconds later, caught one!

Grandpa caught one!

Nyles trying it all by himself.  I was mainly worried they were going to pull him in. :)

And another one in 2 seconds.

Now my turn.

Nyles going to see what Grandpa caught.

And another one!

Trying to other pond.

Grandpa caught a stick, pretty impressive!

Another one!

Nyles doing a great job reeling it in, must be a big one based on his stance :)

Nyles went for one more motorcycle ride w/ Grandpa, then we headed home.  It was my mom's birthday as well, so we wished her a Happy Birthday again, then hit the road.  We sure had a great time up on the farm visiting w/ Grandma and Grandpa and playing of course.  Until next time!
