Bicknell, Utah

I am a little slow on my posts these days. It seems like this summer is just flying right by us!
We took a trip to Bicknell, Utah the weekend of Fathers Day. Sid and I are helping his grandparents install hardwood flooring and we were planning on making it a working weekend - but found out from the manufacturer that we needed the flooring to climatize for a few days before we install it. So, we got a fishing weekend out of it instead.
Sid and I got some fishing polls for Christmas and figured we'd start since we have the lake here in Stansbury within walking distance...and with our hectic schedule, we haven't gotten the chance to go yet. Sid's grandparents took us down to Lower Bowns. It's on Boulder Mountain. I hadn't been there before, but it was really beautiful. I wish I'd have taken more pictures - next time I guess.
Sid was the star of the show (as always - right?) and he caught his limit + 1! He threw one back though, none of us were as lucky.
Avery loved it too. She got to play in the water (which was surprisingly warm) and was sandy from head to toe. I was shocked at how much she loved the water! She would have gotten right in had we not stopped her!

Avery is very observant these days...seems she mimics all that we do. I am not sure she knows what she is doing most the time...she just knows that she wants to do whatever it is that we are doing.
The water and sand were a little odd to her at first, but it didn't take long before she was COVERED in it. I was sad that I hadn't brought more play clothes for her, luckily they cleaned up as good as new!

Ewww...This is why I was ok with not catching one. Luckily Sid's grandma has a stronger stomach for these types of things...
