We went on our annual Red Fish Lake camping trip in August. The trip almost got derailed by the forest fires, but through much perseverance we made it. When we initially headed up to Red Fish we had to turn around at Loman, because the road was closed due to fire. The only other alternative was to get there by going through Sun Valley. That little detour added some serious time to our trip, and we got to our camp site so late that Nate and I had to put up the tent in the dark. My parents, my sister Sandi and her family, and my sister Heather all joined us at Red Fish this year. We had a great time! We did our normal Red Fish activities: fishing (The kids Fish at a Fish hatchery there. I do feel a little bit bad about the number of fish our children send to meet their maker, but not enough to not take them next year.), hiking, biking, and playing at the beach. Carson insisted this year on casting and reeling in all his own fish. He is becoming quite the little fisherman. Lily still has a fascination with fish. This fascination caused her to get a little to close to the edge of the pond and fall right in. Her shoes never dried out she spent the rest of the trip fashionably dressed in sandals with socks. Lily and Eve also seemed especially taken with the dirt and loved to throw it in the air and rub it all over their faces. Over all it was a great trip and we enjoyed the company of all our family and being out in nature.
