Gone Fishin'

Is there anything quite as exciting for a boy as catching his first fish? We took our family to spend a few days at Grizzley Jack's Grand Bear Resort. There was a fishing pond behind our lodge which was well stocked with blue gill. Our little boys had so much fun fishing. Even 19-month-old Charlie caught a fish! We strongly encouraged the "catch and release" program, but those boys were pretty darn sure they wanted fish for dinner that night. Uncle Randy patiently helped them clean the fish and wrap them in foil for baking. As they came out of the oven the boys crowded around. We unwrapped the foil. There were those milky eyeballs staring up at them. Suddenly no one was hungry. After dinner we wrapped them back in the foil and disposed of them. Have you ever considered kissing a live fish?!

As for the rest of us, we dined on a fabulous dutch oven dinner prepared in a downpour by our three dutch oven chefs. Yum!
