Memorial Day Weekend


Taylor, Sandi and Rip Tide von Blitz figuring out a way to stay warm at Paragonah reservoir.
IHOP Cedar City, Utah

Marshmallow Time!

Navajo Lake (Still a ton of Snow and probably too cold for the fish to bite!)

Taylor keep showing us how her dead minnow did tricks like rollover, and jump etc!







We were able to go up to the Utah property with Uncle Richard and Andy this Memorial Day weekend. We went to Navajo lake, Panquitch lake and Paragonah reservoir. Sandi was the only one who caught anything. She threw it back in. Guess we needed worms and brought everything but worms. We were able to cram in a ton of fun in just a few days. I was tired most of the time and party pooped out around the marshmallow fire late at night but it's been a busy past few months. We went to Mammoth lake, Cedar breaks, and saw some of the most beautiful real estate you can imagine. A lot of driving this time. One lake had too much wind, one lake had to much snow and one lake had too many bugs. None were just right. We hit our usual eating places and even picked up Dairy Queen in Cedar City. I got to grill some hamburgers for everyone including Richards dog, "Rip Tide Von Blitz" . Richard and his wife Lori raise the big size poodles and sale them for hunting dogs. Blitz was fun and always out of control. At one point, Blitz (who didn't really know me that well) and I got into a stand off, until he saw my Gun that is, then Richard had to tell him I was really the "Sundance Kid" and he backed down. It was a great weekend. On my way home I got a bit sentimental and asked Sandi to take a video of my favorite mountainside between Cedar and St. George. Every time I pass it, it reminds me of wonderful memories with many loved one's past and present. Lot's of fun, ceremonies and getting to put up my Flags, (U.S. and Marine Corps) was nice and was good to be able to be apart of all the Memorial Day remembrances. We over ate as usual. Sandi and I had fun fishing while Taylor just amused us with the (deceased Minnow) she found. It was a great fun trip.
