Our Spontaneous Trip to Philly...

Hey everyone, I posted this on my own blog, but I think I will start posted them here as well. I am trying to get caught up.

Highlights of our Trip:

Independence Hall

Benjamin Franklin Park

(Lainey and Hudson couldn't get enough of the teeter totter. Bless these little Asian girls that kept it going until we FINALLY pulled them off!)

Liberty Bell

Feeding the Birds

Swimming which is ALL Hudson could talk about.

MATER

Hudson just couldn't stand that Mater was parked right across the street from us the whole time we were there. We HAD to get a picture.

(can't you just see the love in his face)

Chinese Cuisine in Chinatown

A Little Reese's Love
(don't think I haven't eaten 5 Reese's Eggs since Sunday)

And who can't go to Philly without a little ROCKY action, camo style!!

We loved our trip....it was quick but a lot of fun. Time is winding down here in Pittsburgh. Only one year left- well I guess it could be three more after that... (deep sigh). Regardless, we have to take advantage of every minute.

LET'S GO IDAHO!

Well it took us eight hours until we finally caught our first fish, but after that it was lights out! We landed 10 fish, had 7 break our lines, and 4 others that the hook just popped out of their mouths (we have to use barbless hooks). But it was flippin off the hook! Mom caught two all by herself!!!!
Its 10 here right now so Mom said she will fill you in on the details tommorrow. Tight lines to ya!

We have been waiting!

So where is the Steelhead Fishing Derby Duel report? We can't wait to see the MONSTER Steelhead they have out in Idaho. Here is a sample pic of our fish. We each had 2-3 on our lines, but Ty landed the only steelhead. We caught about 50 stocker fish each and 3-4 suckers each. We had a pretty slow day, but it was fun. We are looking forward to seeing yours!
Tim and Ty the "East Coast Deserters"

PS the picture of the Sucker looks like he was snagged, but he just got tangled in the line after we took the fly out of his mouth.

That means "No Snagging, No Netting ,Tim", TYLER!"

All must be caught with Legal Bait!
