Grandpa's and little girls

As I was looking for my way back when photos I found this photo of me and my grandpa Watrous when I was one. I loved my grandpa and thought Father's Day was the perfect time for me to post this picture.

The really fun thing about this is that I have a very similar photo of Afton with my dad.

My grandpa and my dad are a lot alike and these pictures are wonderful.

A Day with Dad

I LOVE hanging out with my dad.

On Saturday we headed out into the west desert with fishing poles, jackets, hats, gloves, and junk food.
We didn't have any luck fishing because the snow kept us from getting close to the water and a lot of the water was still frozen. We did however find something else to do. As we were driving we saw a cave on the hillside and thought it would be the perfect spot to soak up some sun. We hiked up the mountain and made a little fire. It was so nice to breath fresh air (except for when we were inhaling smoke) and be in the middle of nowhere. We sat around the fire, talking and laughing, and just enjoying the day!

We ended being gone for about four hours and in that time we saw 25 wild turkeys, 1 golden eagle, 3 bald eagles, 1 coyote, 15 deer, 2 rabbits, 2 blue herons, and around 12 hawks! I'm sure I'm missing something!

During that time we also managed to drink a lot of soda, eat cheetos, donuts, and top it all off with a nice freezing cold ice cream cone!

It was a great adventure! Thanks Dad!

 

Dad's picture looks like an REI ad!

Mine looks like I am falling over!

Strawberry River

Fishing with dad on the Strawberry River.

I LOVE the drive,
I LOVE talking,
I LOVE walking through sagebrush,
I LOVE the pressure of the water
on my waders as I step into the river,
I LOVE concentrating on my line,
I LOVE the smells,
I LOVE landing a big fish,
I LOVE eating junk food and drinking soda
I LOVE hanging out with my dad!
