A FISHY STORY


So we were in Mammoth this week, with Josh and Jenna, and Luke and his friend...we stayed in a condo (beautiful, wish we could own one) and J & J took their new trailer up and stayed in the campground, so they could see bears. Well, we saw bears, and had campfires with them, which was great, and stuffed ourselves on SMORES...went fishing, and had fun. You can see by the picture the rather large fish Luke caught, he even got to spin the wheel at Gull Lake to win a prize for this beaut...It was 4lbs 9 ozs. and was a brown trout. I was so glad cause a few years ago when we were there, I accidentally lost a big one he caught cause I grabbed the line...well, funny thing...this one had a hook in it's chin...when Luke got it in, and it didn't even fight...the fish had swallowed Luke's hook, and here was one sticking out of the chin at the bottom of the gills...made me wonder...could it be the same fish? We will never know, but God has a great sense of humor and might have just needed the laugh in heaven on Thursday when this happened...but at least I don't have to feel bad any more....he got his big one....we had a great time, but there really is NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!
