Camping With Friends

Our good friends Bret & Amberly invited us and another couple from the ward (Marc & Eliza) to go camping with them up to Strawberry over the weekend. Their grandma has a cute, old cabin up there so we didn't have to sleep in a tent (hooray!), but we still were able to have a camp fire, chase lizards & frogs, shoot guns, dutch oven, and get plenty dirty. We had a great time.
Jordan the Fisherman. When Jordan told my Dad we were going to go fishing, my Dad's whole face lit up. He got Jordan all hooked up with fishing gear, and started extending invitations for future fishing trips. Hopefully he'll have better luck fishing with a pro like my Dad then he had this weekend.
Here's Amberly not catching anything either. haha
Jordan was in heaven being somewhere that he could get his gun out and target shoot.
The trout fishing was awful, but the crawdad catching was excellent!
You just throw a raw chicken leg in the lake, and when you pull it up it's covered with crawdads.
We caught a whole cooler full of crawdad's and Bret insisted we take them back to the cabin and cook them up. Look at that sink completely filled.
Am & I with the boiled Crawdad presentation. They looked fancy, but I couldn't convince myself to eat one, and either could Jordan. I bet we cooked up over 100 and maybe 2 got eaten. Oh well, they provided much entertainment over the weekend.

It was so fun watching Jordan laugh & run around like a little boy chasing lizards, frogs, and crawdads with the guys. I love having friends that both Jordan & I get a long with. Thanks for a fun trip Bret & Am.

All we ever catch at Strawberry is crawdads as well. Tyler has sworn to never go back. It looks like you had fun with friends though!

I was wondering if you'd really eat one of those! Yuck!!! That is too cool that you can catch them with a raw chicken leg. Those photos were great! Sounds like your fishing trip was a lot like Brad's this past week...nothing! :)
I love that you and Jordan know how to have a good time! I'm off to read more of your posts...
