"You can take the boy out of Alaska, but you can't take Alaska out of the boy"
I learned this a year and a half ago when Taber was building an igloo in our backyard. Recently the Alaska boy has come out in his renewed passion for fishing. One day he just called me out of the blue and said he was at Dick's picking up fishing poles and worms for him and the kids. Since then, every chance he gets, he's gone fishin'!
He takes the kids to Mill's pond near Mine Falls about 10 minutes from our house.
Cheese!!
Aw, there's that handsome face I love... :)
Cam and I have dropped in for a bit on the fishing excursions but usually he needs a nap so we have to leave early.
There are lots of fun creatures at the pond. Baby turtle!!
Look at that little guy...so cute!
Teya is pretty pro from what Taber tells me. She usually catches 7 or 8.
She likes kissing them too for some reason...(I did not teach her that!)
Brinley usually likes to catch one or two
She needs a little more help than Teya, but she has a good time and especially loves playing with all the rocks and leaves and bugs and things down at the pond.
Teya is also fearless when it comes to handling the slimy dudes. She helps Daddy clean them and season them for the grill like it's nothing.
This picture makes me laugh, grilled fish on Ariel the Little Mermaid plates. This is exactly the kind of horror Sebastian warned her about! (Lol ; )
Not sure how many kids out there would eat this but my lil' outdoorsy ladies are all about it. They chowed these suckers faster than potato chips and popcorn. Guess that's how you roll when your Daddy's an Alaska boy ; )

Hahahahahah! Grilled fish on Ariel plates...HILARIOUS! Wish my girls could go fishing with Taber too. They would love that!
Cam's "cheese" is hilarious!
I love the baby turtle...awww.
So fun for them to go fishing.
Your girls are brave! I don't know that Miley would go for that, although she has been begging for someone to take her fishing, so she might surprise me! What a fun way for Taber to do some Dad-Kid bonding. I am sure it is going to make some great memories for every one.
Cam's cheese face. I die. Every time. Absolutely love it!
Ohhh the Ariel plates. Really, Becca?? hahaha...
I love Cam's cheese face so much. I can NOT see it without laughing. He is the cutest thing ever.
Makenzie is the same way with fishing. As soon as she catches them she can't wait to eat them and I'm like, "wow... you are so much cooler than me..."
Justin's dad plucks out the eyeballs and eats them in front of her (not to mention sucking the brains out of their heads) and I thought for sure that would ruin her, but nope! She just laughs... funny girls.
And your pictures look awesome, I know you're loving that new camera!!
I thought the Ariel plates were an excellent touch! Kissing the fish was something I never would have thought of. I doubt any of my boys would try it!
Taber got me looking for some fishing here in Utah. Wish we had a place that close like you guys. It's such a kid friendly place. Your guys girls are pro fisher-women. :)
I love it that he's teaching them how to fish and that they like to eat it, too! I have to show Ollie this post - he loves to try to catch fish down at the pond by our house, but he's never caught anything that big. Your girls are going to make some boys very happy some day. Which is why they need to marry into my family, okay?
Oh man. You have GOT to bring them here. They would love to catch a fish as big as them. That looks like So Much Fun!
