Yesterday we rented a pontoon boat with our friends, the Benedicts, at Diamond Valley Lake only about a half hour from here and went fishing. We woke up at a much too early 4:30 am to eat a little breakfast and get ready. Natalie and her family arrived with the babysitter that would stay with their baby, Audrey, and Devin at 5:30 and off we went. We got out on the water by about 6:30
and got across the lake to our fishing spot only for Kirk to remember he forgot to get a fishing license back at the office. So, back we went and he got a little exercise running up the STEEP hill back to the office.
We finally got set up to fish.
Avery had the fortunate opportunity to catch the one and only fish of the day. It was her first fish ever and although she didn't want to touch it, she was very proud! 
Some of the day we spent just driving the boat around and Josh and Natalie both got the thrill of driving a boat for the first time. They loved it! 
It was a really fun day and we made a lot of good memories. After such an early morning, it's not surprising the some of us could barely keep our eyes open. 
Thanks, Benedict family, for spending a full filled day with us on the lake! Let's do it again soon.

It was a Fun day!!! Thanks again for letting us borrow your fishing "rods." An old dog can learn new verbage!!! ;)
sounds like a fun filled day!
That looks like so much fun! And that is about the longest boat ramp I've seen in a long time. Wow.
