Trout Haven and a Rock Wall

After seeing Paul and my dad fish in the river behind the house, the boys decided they wanted to catch a few fish.  
 So we all went to Trout Haven in Estes Park.  
 It is a pond that is stocked with rainbow trout where anglers only pay for what they catch.  
 Andrew reeled in the first fish.  It was about 14 inches long.  
 We all enjoyed watching them cast and reel them in. 
 My dad helped Matthew get his fish onto land.  
 Matthew wasn't too sure about holding the fish, but he sure had fun catching it.  
 Unfortunately, Jacob was disappointed as he wasn't able to land one.  Andrew tried to offer tips and encouragement, but it wasn't meant to be today.  
 The all enjoyed watching the staff package the fish for us to take back for dinner.  
 Later, the boys decided to try their hands at a little fly fishing with help from Paul 
and my dad. 
 Even after all of that fishing, the boys still had energy to spare, so we took them to an indoor climbing wall for a quick climb.  

There are so many opportunities for exercise and fun!
