Happy Birthday Jake!!

Jake celebrated his 31st birthday yesterday and we had the chance to take the family out on our first family fishing outing. We went up to beautiful Pecos, NM to fish along the river there. The drive itself was breath-taking through the mountains, with the fresh mountain air and green, green, green surrounding us.

This unfortunately was the closest anyone got to catching a fish! 

I think our lack of fish catching had something to do with Mckenna throwing the bait into the water thus feeding the fish.

After failing by the river, we decided to head over to Monastary Lake. At least people were catching fish here but alas it was not meant to be for us.

 We ended up having such a wonderful time and Gracie was getting pretty good at casting her own line by the end of the day. We look forward to making this a family hobby and can't wait for our next outing!
