So our family has a new found hobby--fishing! Doug has always wanted to take the kids fishing more often, but there never seems to be a good opportunity for a big old fishing trip. But we have found the solution.
Last week our good friends the Bagoyos told us about their fishing spot. Unbeknownst to us (and probably lots of other Beavertonians--if that is a word), there is a park just 10 minutes down the road with a small lake. Turns out the Parks and Rec department stocks that lake with rainbow trout every 2-3 weeks! Now granted, these aren't
gigantic fish by any means, but the perfect quick fishing outing for Dad and the boys. (Squint closely and you can see the fish in front of Doug's hand in the above photo).So Saturday morning they spent 3 hours fishing at the park and between the 5 boys there (Zach, Terry, and 3 of Zach's buddies) they caught 30 fish. Then, last night for home evening, we headed out again. Doug took Trevian along with them and I met them at the park as soon as I
finished with work. It wasn't quite as busy of a fish evening, but we still brought home enough for Doug to fry up for dinner. And it was TASTY!!!Who knew...just down the road in the middle of town we would find a great little fishin hole. I'm sure we'll become regulars there as the kids keep asking to go back. Gotta love the picture of Trev though--even when fishing, it's all about posing to look good for the photo op! :)

What a fun thing to do together. You guys will have to show my girls how to fish someday. I am sure we will be needing all the male influence we can get in this fam.
Doug's little mini-me-Terry just cracks me up. I feel like I'm looking at a younger version of Douglas Leonard.
