Wonderful water...

We got lucky this summer and made it out in kayaks a few times 

to enjoy some wonderful water. 

At the beginning of summer, Gary told us Pineview Reservoir was so full 

you could kayak the inlets way back into the willows. 

He was totally right and it was a whole new experience!

Back in the willows and reeds, we came upon this young man 

with a bow and arrow, only thing was the arrow was hooked to a fishing reel

which was hooked to the bow and he was bow hunting for fish. 

It wasn't long at all and he had this huge fish!

He told us it was a carp and that they weren't very good eating 

because they were bottom feeders. 

He wasn't going to take it home. 

I thought about that and felt sad. 

Maybe there are too many carp and the population needs managed?
Don't know but I hope some hawk enjoyed an easy meal.

We got to go to Hyrum Reservoir just last week.

It was our first time there and it was a nice little place.

Sean joined us and he and the twigs traded back and forth 

between kayaks and paddle boards. 

Zac and our girlie thought to bring a ball and we had so much fun trying to score baskets in everyone's kayaks or on the grey part of the paddle boards!

No pictures of that though because there was LOTS of falling in 

so the camera was playing it safe and staying dry. ;)

Water, family, and friends are wonderful!
