After the temple groundbreaking, my dad took me and the boys fishing. Kurtis doesn't like fishing, so he told Zach he would have to ask his grandpa to take him. It was a lot of fun. Well, not at first. We went up into the canyon to fish in the Box Elder Creek, but they were unsuccessful. So he drove us out to North Ogden, and we went fishing at the fish hatchery. The boys had a lot of fun trying to catch a fish. You can buy fish food that puts the fish into a feeding frenzy, and usually that equals one of them getting hooked when you have your hook in the middle of the frenzy. Riley caught the first one. Then Kaleb. Then, I turned around to get a picture of Zach catching his, and Kaleb cries, "I caught another one all by myself!" Indeed he had! Without the help of any chum at all! That was pretty exciting. Then, Riley, also caught another. But alas, we ran out of chum, bought some more, and Zachary still did not catch a fish that day. He was a little bummed, but he got over it quickly. He wanted to go fishing, and he got to do that, so I think that's what made him happiest. He wants to go again soon. :) Me? I am not a fish person. I just went to take pictures. :)
This is the tabernacle. We were outside with my parents, but Kaleb complained of the heat, so we went to watch the groundbreaking on a video screen inside. Where there was air conditioning.
Uncle Ben came by to say hi, and play with the boys for a minute (Then he went back to his girlfriend).

The canal. What boy would stay on their blanket when they have that to check out!
The lady in the blue suit is Sis. Packer. The man's head that you can see right behind hers is Elder Packer. It was pretty cool.
Zach digging the hole where the temple will go.
This is the awesomest picture ever.

They all got to take turns.

Riley, after his first catch.
This is the feeding frenzy. If you can't see it very well, just click on the picture for a larger view.
After Kaleb caught his second, Riley did too!
I caught it all by myself!
While waiting for Zach to catch one, Riley and Kaleb tried to catch them with their hands.

The boys were really fascinated by the fish. They wanted to hold and touch them. Riley said, "I touched its eye!"
Kaleb caught a big one!
There were baby duckies! They were so cute!
On our way home, it got all windy and stormy. We saw the most beautiful rainbow! It was the perfect end to a really perfect day. :)

Love it! :) I'm so glad you took pictures, I was feeling a little sad we weren't there so the pictures satisfied my curiosity. My favorite is the grumpy Kaleb. :) Glad you had a perfect day.
Look at Riley's face too. The attitude that I have to deal with pretty much on a daily basis is written all over it. That kid needs therapy, and he's not even 8 yet! Ugh!
How awesome that you got to go be a part of this day! I love the picture of Zack turning the dirt. That's pretty cool!
What a great day! And terrific photos.
