The last weekend of the season on "the butt"




















































































It was the last boat trip of the year this weekend. Michael, myself, Tyler and Justin got up early about 5:30 am and picked Brandon up and we took the boat out for one last trip of the season. We went up to Deer Creek Reservior to do some fishing, well Michael, Brandon and Justin fished, Tyler and I slept. It wouldn't be a boat trip without a few small issues and a meltdown from Mom. We had a dead battery on the boat to begin with so we pulled out of the lake, unhooked everything and charged the boat with the Durango and then of course we are still new at the launching and loading of the boat. It looks so nice on the trailer and on the water but I will admit that getting it either place makes me a little anxious. Brandon is becoming quite good at backing the Durango and trailer in though. It was 33 degrees when we got on the lake and as you can see from one of the pictures we took, there is snow on the mountains. Tyler was so cold that he just burrowed under a blanket and we checked on him to make sure that he wasn't frostbitten. It shaped up to be a beautiful day. My favorite place to sit in the boat is in the bow of it but after today I have decided that sitting in the bow of the boat in August is a lot more fun than in the middle of October. Brrrr!! It was a lot of fun though. It is going to be a long winter. I think Michael and Brandon got a little teary eyed when we parked it for the season. (Just kidding)
