fishing anyone?

There are 2 more May activities that I wanted to get up on my blog. The first is fishing. Matt and I have been in charge of the planning of the "Buttars family activities" this year, and for the first one we decide to take everyone fishing. Mainly because all the in-laws (Matt, Chris, and Scott) love to fish, and second our kids saved up their money and all wanted to by fishing poles with their money so they now needed to go fishing. We decide to go to Maple Lake, up past Payson. It was very fun, even though none of the kids caught anything. Zack probably loved it the best of the kids, but all had a great time. Matt, Chris, and Sarah (Jared's girlfriend) were the only ones to catch a fish. Here are some pics:

(I told them to show me their muscles. Alli and Chris you need to teach Blake how to do that;)Chris was right there to help the kids, but did most of the fishing himself. (Of course he had to fish with Blake's pole.)I missed getting the picture of all the girls so these 2 will have to represent all of us.I saved one of the cutest pictures for last! Baby Ty sat in his stroller most of the time and was content, but you could tell he sometimes just wants to be older and do everything else the other kids are doing. He is a doll and we love him to death!

We missed Scott who had to work, however everyone else came! Even the padres were good sports and came up and sat in chairs and commentated!

I must add that Matt took the boys later this month with some of his family (Sara and I stayed home) up to Strawberry to fish and Zack was the only one to catch a fish. 18 inches!! Zack really did catch it all by himself, of course Matt was by his side telling him what to do. Matt was a bit busy helping him to take a picture, Laura however stepped right in for him though! (a surprise to anyone?) Unfortunately I have yet to get it off her camera, so you can imagine the fish as big as you'd like!

Um, Blake is being a strong man...can't you tell? :)

That's his way of doing it. Trust me, I have tried and tried to get him to move his arms up instead of in, but his fists are clenched if you look close :) There is no teaching!

And I have to agree...Great last picture. :)
