Day Trip: Fishing at Birch Creek and Petroglyphs


Goodness, it has been so long since I posted, I don't even know where to start. I'll start with pictures - that's always fun! Towards the end of September we went on a little day trip with Jeff one Saturday so he could show us one of his favorite fishing spots. It was just past Mud Lake on Birch Creek. We picked up some snacks and bait in Mud Lake and the girls got to try their hand at splitting a worm and baiting a hook. Felicity was fearless, but Lydia was a little more squeamish. (No pictures since I was helping to tear the worms in half - ick!)Evelyn didn't try it. She was more interested in the fruit snacks.
Yes, there were lots of cows. We drove through a herd with their cowboys on our way up.
Felicity and Lydia aiming for the ripples.

After we fished for awhile, we took a little drive out in the hills to see some AWESOME petroglyphs. Here's Lydia and her Vanna White impression.
Lydia and Evelyn had a blast climbing into every nook, cranny and "look out" they could find.

Felicity preferred to hang out with the guys.
I did manage to get a picture of the three girls together!
When we climbed up on top of the rock formation, we were treated to this lovely view.

Lydia and Evelyn enjoy the view from their "box seats."
To be continued.....
