Fishing at Fish Lake with the Fishers...

PERKINS FAMILY VACATION PART 1

Last week, we went on our big family vacation of the summer to the first Perkins Reunion. My parents hosted it this year at a rental cabin in Fish Lake, Utah - which is in southern/central Utah near Richfield.
It is over an 8 hour drive from Salmon, so we decided to leave Kanyon home because he doesn't do well being strapped in a carseat, especially for that length of time. Ammon was so excited to meet his Fisher cousins from Virginia that he has never seen! Jonah and Micah were so excited to go fishing for the first time! Grandpa bought them both new fishing rods and they couldn't wait to try them out! For weeks prior to the vacation, they would count down the days until they could go "Fishing at Fish Lake with the Fishers"!! Grandpa rented a large pontoon boat and everyone enjoyed being on the lake and the kids loved going fishing. He even let all the grandkids take turns driving the boat, which they absolutely loved! Thanks Grandpa!
Although the men never caught a large trout (there were a few close calls!), the children caught dozens of Perch. It was delightful to see them so thrilled to be fishermen! We threw the majority of them back in the lake, but it was such an awesome experience to see them catching so many and being so excited about it!

My sister Lisa and her husband Mack brought their two boys, and my brother Mick and his wife Jen brought their three girls, and my sisters Tawna and Trina were there. We were missing 4 family members: Kanyon, my brother Cody and his wife BreAnne, and my sister Tabbi. So all in all, 18 people were there! It was such a fabulous vacation, we all wish it could have been a little longer! (Isn't that how good vacations are supposed to feel?!)

Sounds like a lot of fun- the picture you have up of Kanyon (on your last post) is sooo cute!
