Fishing on Lake Koocanusa ...

July 13, 2014

We were up early ... had our breakfast and were on the road to go fishing ...

as soon as the first rod was put out ...

we had a fish ...

Each of the kids took turns ... catching ... reeling in and bonking the fish ...

The kids were so excited each time a fish was caught ...

Craig and Ella were getting a little hot ...

so they sat on the back of the boat  ...

dangling there legs in the water ...

The kids really wanted to go for a swim ...

out in the middle of the lake ...

so Grandpa stopped the boat ...

and the four of them jumped into the water to cool off ...

Once they were all in the boat ...

it was time to head to the island ... and have our picnic lunch ...

it also gave them time to play in the sand ... 

and finding an old waterlogged burnt log to ride ...

They loved playing in the sand ...

each of them taking turns ... to be buried in it ...

so before going back in the boat ... they had to rinse out their swimsuits ...

Craig decided to have a little rest ...

while James and Ella ...

helped Grandpa clean the fish ...

In no time at all ...

we had our limit of fish caught ...

this gave us the opportunity to fire up the big motor ...

to cruise up and down the lake ....

the kids loved going fast and going over the waves from other boats ...

We had a wonderful day at the lake ... !!!
