Labor Day - Trial Lake

Over Labor Day weekend, we went up to Trial Lake, which is "high in the mountains" according to Anna. It is a favorite childhood camping spot of Cody's and we love to go up there as much as we can. The campground is right by the lake and its just a really fun place to go. The kids loved it; getting dirty and smelling like campfire for 3 days without bathing is heaven for them I'm sure. The fishing was pretty good. The first trip down to the lake we sat on the beach/shore/whatever you'd call it, but we didn't really have a lot of luck catching fish. Cody, however, did catch fish and Jake was right there with his own fishing pole ready to "whack dishies off!". Every single fish Cody caught, Jake would run over as fast as he could to his dad and "help" get the fishes off the hook.
The next day we tried fishing off the dam, which was better at least for Anna. She caught 4 fish off the dam, just sitting there so patiently on her rock with her Dora fishing pole. Some of the fish she caught were actually bigger than the ones Cody caught! It was really fun watching her catch fish; Cody hardly had time to fish because he had to keep helping Anna get the fish off her pole and rebait it.

This is Jacob smiling for the camera. Notice how his pole does NOT have any fishing line or anything of ths sort. Being 2 he's not patient enough to sit there and wait. So that's why he whacks the fish and the rocks and sometimes Mommy when she's not looking. We thought hooks were a hazard for this little boy and anyone around him.
Cody caught about 12 fish all together I think. Great job honey!

Cody and Jake traded hats; wait! which one is Cody and which one is Jake?

I'm so strong with my fishing pole!
