Fishing for Bears


After our train ride we took the opportunity to do another very Colorado thing, fly fishing for trout at the Blue River near Silverthorne.  Ok, so just dad put on the waders but we all needed them for this fishing trip.  We found a place to go public fishing but we had to wade across the river to get to the bank to sit on.  It was fun to take the kids and our gear across trip by trip and it was a very beautiful setting.  

Mom basically just ran around keeping the 3 ring circus going.  Ring 1) Daddy is out in the river fishing so mom is just making sure the kids are not in the path of the line and get hooked! 

Ring 2) Keagan is busy throwing rocks.  I mean there are just so many of them, they just need to be thrown.  I am sure this was not helping dad catch any fish but what can you do!  Mom is busy trying to make sure Keagan is not wading out too far into the river and gets swept away.

Ring 3) Logan the rock eater.  So I seen dogs in my practice that eat rocks and we have to refer them to surgeons like Jeff to remove the rocks so I was mortified to see my littlest son trying to eat the rocks.  I spent most of my time in this ring continually taking rocks out of Logan's hands.  They just tasted so good mom!

Finally we had enough of the good times and packed up our stuff and made the many trips across the river to get our stuff back to the side where the car was parked.  All of the sudden we saw a black bear directly across from where we had just been enjoying the Colorado scenery.  We had left in just the right time as it could have been scary to be across the river from a real bear!
