Boys Day Out!

(Sung to the tune of "I've got a dollar from the Little Rascals Movie) -I got a break, I got a break, I got a break, hey hey hey hey!
What a great day yesterday was! Pop Pop Gene (Karl's dad) has been talking about taking Cam fishing for a while now, and they finally got to go yesterday... with a little twist. Karl threw out his back on Tuesday (I think) and had the go to Urgent Care and they gave him a shot, painkillers, back brace, etc. He went to work the next day, and then on Thursday he got to go home super early (about 9 am) because the work for the day was core drilling and that's how he hurt it in the first place. So... the boys got a very special treat. Not only were Cam and Pop Pop going fishing, Karl and Dillon got to go along too!

They were absolutely exhausted when they got home last night! They left at about 9:30 and got home around 5:00... with 4 extra guests (rainbow trout). They had the biggest smiles on their faces! They didn't fight or bicker, they worked together as a team and had a really good time. Karl was so proud to tell me how well it went. Gene topped the whole day off by treating us to dinner at our favorite restraunt, Red Robin. Yum Yum!

Here's some of the many pics Karl took from the day:

Cam's first fish. He caught it within 10 minutes of getting there!

While they were there a man came to stock the lake with trout. If you look close you can see tons of fish pumping out of the truck. The guy specifically came over to Karl afterwards and told him that he told the boys to stay away from his truck and that they were the best behaved kids he's ever seen!

And with Pop Pop
The boys will remember this day forever. They were so happy and had such an amazing time.
