We went camping the day after Pioneer Day. Pioneer Day is a big day here in Utah, so things like camping at the water is super busy. Going the day after, though, was wonderful. People were leaving to go back to work, so it wasn't packed. Jaxton finally caught a fish on the morning that we were packing up to leave. It was so tiny but so amazing! This kid has been trying SO HARD to catch a fish and I would have been so disappointed for him if he walked away without anything... again. There are also tons of crawdads where we went, so I ordered a crawdad catcher, crossing my fingers that it would be awesome... AND IT WAS!!! We caught so many crawdads and they were delicious. Taking them apart to eat them is super disgusting, but when they are finally all clean and you can dip them in garlic butter... mmmm.
This is the crawdad catcher that I ordered.
I tricked them into taking a nap by playing the "who can keep their eyes closed the longest" game... worked like a charm. Jenna woke up an hour and a half later and told Mitch, "I did really good! I almost fell asleep."
Using the crawdad catcher and we caught so many crawdads!
Taking a little down-time to listen to Kayla read.
This kid and his fishing. I love it.
Ahhh! He finally caught a fish!
Owen clearly thought it was disgusting.
cooking the crawdads!
