Memorial Day weekend

Usually we spend the entire Memorial Day weekend in Island Park, but due to circumstances (a funeral in the ward and feeling like we ought to stick around to help in our callings on Sunday), we sent the older two girls up with their cousins on Friday (May 25), and the rest of us joined them Sunday (May 27) afternoon. We spent several hours at Henry's Lake on Monday (May 28) fishing, and although we didn't see a single trout, the kids had loads of fun catching a total of 50 Utah chubs. They're an invasive species, so we felt justified in hauling one after another in on our lines.
