Chris had the day off on Saturday, so after I came home from my long run in the morning, we packed up a picnic lunch and the fishing poles and headed out in search of someplace to spend some time as a family. Initially we had hoped to do a some fishing on a reservoir a little further up in the mountains, but as we got closer to our destination, we started to realize that there was way too much snow on the ground and the probability was high that the reservoir would be frozen. So we turned around and headed to a different reservoir, with hopes that since it was not as high in elevation that it would be thawed. No such luck, but the sun was shining and although it was a bit windy and cool, we decided to go ahead and eat our lunch at some picnic tables near a little campground. After lunch, we continued our drive in search of a fishing spot, and eventually ended up at the sportsman's access of the Portneuf River, about 10 miles from our house. We fished for a little while, and even though no one caught anything, the kids had a lot of fun. When we came back home, Chris gathered up what he could find of some dry wood and built a fire in the fire pit. We had a hot dog roast for dinner, made s'mores and made a raspberry cobbler in the dutch oven. Once we were all tired of being outside, we came in and watched a movie as a family. On Sunday morning, after losing an hour to daylight savings, it was a bit tough getting the kids up and ready for 9am church, but we did it and enjoyed our first Sunday in the newly built Inkom ward building.
