Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we had such a gorgeous summer-like weather... hard to remember the first couple of days of May with over 2 feet of snow! Apple trees on the back hill blossomed out literally in a day. All spring/summer flowers are happening at once.

Saturday evening we hosted a low-key birthday party for a friend. We didn't even take pictures of the food, but managed to snap an evidence of the good time we had.

We did go fishing both Saturday and Sunday, to find all sorts of pollens in the air as well as mosquitoes. We can't have summer without the bugs. Saturday morning there were so many fish jumping for flies and showing no interest at all in any of our lures. Next day though Kayo caught a 28" female steelhead that was on her way downstream after spawning. She weighed 6.5 lbs! To be fair, once again my line (due to my poor knot tying skills) came detached as I was trying to raise the fish on the bank. So Joe did his best grizzly bear routine to save OUR fish. 

We really couldn't ask for a better weather on the Memorial Day weekend. We fished Apple Creek in honor of Joe's dad and got to enjoy some beautiful summer moments... to kick off our summer months.
