but she liked playing with the fish once they were caught.

16 total rainbow trout. This are great fisher kids.

You ask how they caught so many ...
we went to a trout farm.

We went on a great family vacation to South Dakota with the Helen, Arne, Tom, Kim, Ellen and Julia. We played a StoryBook Island, saw bears, elk, wolfes and cougars at Bear Country USA, saw the great Mount Rushmore, went fighing and horseback riding. The kids loved the fishing and horseback riding. Ellen caught the biggest fish and Eric caught the smallest. And boy did they taste good. I loved Bear Country. You drive you car through an area where bears and wolfes and elk are free roaming it was amazing to see these large animals so close up. It was awe inspiring to watch the lighting at Mount Rushmore. Arne went up on stage and participate in the flag ceremony since he was a serviceman. It was a great vacation. It was a fun filled busy week.
