Trout/Easter Weekend

We had a great get-a-way weekend at the cabin. Left early afternoon on Friday and even with sitting at a stand-still in traffic got there in 4 hours. Went to check out the big stream behind the cabin in the evening. Game warden decided to check us out--lol. He was using his binoculars to watch us (kids were throwing rocks into the stream---I guess he thought they were casting...). Anyways, he "searched" Ryan (made him empty his pockets--lol). Gave the kids something to talk about....
Opening Day we drove over to Kettle Creek to go out on the boat in the AM....What a waste (except for my sister who caught her limit). Dane and I each caught one trout over there. We left to come back to the cabin around 1:30. Back at the bigger stream I caught another. While we were gone, Cory had caught one at the bigger stream and 2 native trout in the stream behind the cabin (but they were too small so he used catch and release). He hadn't gone fishing for a few years and really seemed to enjoy himself.
Had our traditional Easter Egg Hunt in the evening. All the boys took turns coloring the eggs.
Sunday we woke up leisurely and went down to the big stream to fish--no luck in fishing, but the serenity of the stream was marvelous.
Drove home in the afternoon---only took 3 1/2 hours---thats record time for me. Made a full course ham dinner at 7PM for the boys, John, Ashley, and Brittany. Very tiring day
