Memorial Day Weekend on Henry's Lake

For Memorial Day weekend, Brock planned a fishing trip for us on Henry's Lake in Idaho. Brock and I rented a little "beater" of a fishing boat to cruise around the lake to fish. We caught a bunch of fish over the weekend and had a lot of fun!


Brock caught Boog in the middle of a yawn so he looks funny in this pic.

We thought these birds were cool to look at.



Here's a funny story about our rental boat: Early in the morning we headed out on the lake to start our fishing excursion and found a spot to stop and fish. After fishing about 30 mins, we decided to pull up the anchor and try another place to fish. Brock started the boat but we couldn't move. After a few minutes of frustration, he noticed that the prop had fallen off in the lake! So we were stranded out in the middle of the lake and Brock had to row us back in. I felt so embarressed rowing between really nice fishing boats full of people, I'm sure that enjoyed the entertainment. Luckily they got us all fixed up and we were out fishing again!






Here fishie....



Brock got me a new fly rod for my birthday and I got to break it in out on the lake with this huge fish I caught. Don't I look excited.....and little scared too?
Boog was a good sport, although we don't think he had a very good time. We also found out that he's not a good swimmer.....I guess too much body and not big enough legs.

We camped outside Island Park and it was so peaceful!We also went and checked out Mesa Falls.

This is how Boog rode home from camping, we think he was sad to leave the woods.


House Rock

We drove by the Gallatin River on our way home and we were really amazed by how fast the river is flowing. House Rock Boulder is usually completely out of the water when the river is flowing normal. Crazy....
