Memorial Day weekend

 As per our usual, we spent the weekend at Henry's Lake fishing. But unlike other years, we were there by ourselves for most of the weekend. And because Ana needed to stick around for a Bonnevaires recording, she didn't join us until Sunday.

Saturday, May 24

We went to the lake late in the morning for a little while (nobody caught anything), then went back to the cabin for lunch and some downtime. Seth and I hiked along the Targhee Creek Trail just for something to do in the afternoon.

Ana joined us at the cabin, we went to church, then we spent the rest of the day playing games and watching movies.

Ana wins at Smash Bros., a game she where she has no idea what to do so she just mashes buttons and crosses her fingers.

Some of us went out on Grandpa Hendricks' boat (once we got a jump from someone else because the battery was dead) that Grandpa Dennis brought up, then we fished from the shore before going back to Grandma's cabin for lunch and cleanup. Grandma Susan and Grandpa Dennis had brought Kelsey and Hudson with them, so we got to spend some time with them on Monday. Then we went home. Although we did get a couple of nibbles, nobody ended up catching fish this weekend.
