Camping

An update and some pics:

Seby's birthday was this month (on the 9th) and this boy LOVES to fish. I mean really LOVES to fish! So for his birthday we decided to go camping in Northern Arizona, at a place called Ashurst Lake outside of Flagstaff. We went the weekend of the 17th (even though his birthday was earlier this month, that's when we could fit the trip in) It was a lot of fun. A couple of our friends, Chris and Brandon (who also LOVE to fish), came with us. We just hung out by the lake all weekend... An escape from the heat! The weather was super nice. It's so much farther north and such higher elevation than Phoenix, it was nice and cool with a light breeze all weekend. It was actually on the verge of stormy. It was overcast pretty much all weekend, and drizzled a little here and there. It was nice. We had a ton of fun ... and caught a ton of fish! Seven trout to be exact, two of which were caught by me :) The guys were kind of making fun of me though because I don't like to bait my hook, or touch the fish, and definitely would not want to gut the fish (ew!) I really just like the casting out and reeling in part, which I am good enough at to catch two fish! Haha. I get bored of fishing way faster than the guys do though. So I fished a little the first day, then spent the rest of the weekend reading and enjoying the scenery :)

Here are some pictures from the trip (fyi, they're totally in the wrong order but I'm too lazy to fix it)

That's me with the first fish I caught. (It's hard to tell, but I'm holding it pretty far away from me!)

Husband, fishin'

Me with my second fish. Brandon was kind enough to hold it for a photo opp because I didn't want to touch it.

See???? :)

Smile! :)

Ok, a note about the hat. lol. I know it looks ridiculous, but us super pasty white girls gotta protect ourselves from the sun! It's ok, you can make fun of me for it. Being made fun of is certainly better than getting skin cancer!

Setting up the tent (I usually do that, but I somehow talked husband into doing it this time! Yay)

A picture of me taking a picture of Chris taking a picture of me. Haha. (Yes, that was a very childish moment)

Almost to the lake! :) Look at that big smile on his face. This boy LOVES to fish!

And that was our mini vacation! (kind of backwards, but whatever, you get it) I need to put some pictures up here sometime of me looking normal. Like not camping or vacationing on the beach, 'cause that's pretty much all I've posted here so far! I promise, I'm not always doing some crazy outdoor thing! I do look normal and somewhat pretty sometimes :)
