Trevor and Charmayne bought some new 2 man Kayaks and invited us to float down the Feather River with them.  This picture is from our first trip and then the camera batteries died and we got no more pics.  I was the 2 of them and Kinny and our whole family.  Tayla was a little scared of the few seconds of rapids, but overall it was a very enjoyable trip for all of us!!  Cypress got to ride in the Kayak with dad and the rest of us were in our paddle boat.   
 The second trip was about a week and a half later when the Davis' were here and Grandma and Grandpa could go to.  The trip is so cool because it's Salmon time and they are there in mass.  We saw more the first trip than the second, but there were still tons.  They are all 3-5 feet long and jumping out of the water and swimming all around you.


 With a few more people than that last trip, we had to add the raft.  For the first half we were tied to Dylan and Ryan's kayak but then we paddled the rest of the time.

 Kasen, of course, had to pee on both trips and he was known to make quite a "rainbow."  If you don't believe me, just ask him, he'll tell you all about it!  :)
 This time Dad was able to fish because his boat partner was Trevor and he caught a big one.  It took him a long time to finally reel it in and they had to go to shore to land it.  You can see it chained to the front of the boat.
 He was so proud!!  Best fishing day ever!  We had everyone over 2 days later for smoked salmon!
 After the gutting at the lake but with head still attached, it was 30 lbs and 40 inches long.

 All the kids thought it was sooo cool but sooo gross at the same time.  They just couldn't help but watch the gross process of getting it ready to bring home.

Terry's fish looks even bigger on your blog than the picture you showed me before. Sheesh!!! He doesn't even have to make up a fish exaggeration story for that one!
