Lagoon, Fishing and Breaking Freaking Dawn

Last weekend after Steph's kids spent the week in Boise, I took them back home to Pokafello, then down to Lagoon. Laura and Ross, and Kirk and Danielle were there aswell, with their families. Steph's kids had never been to Lagoon, which is shocking since they live only an hour and a half away, and they liked it better than Disneyland. Anyway, it was HOT but fun - we were there for 11 hours. The kids loved Colossus and I forced them to go on Wicked which goes straight up, then 180 degrees straight down. Even Faith, Teagan and Bo went on it. Here are Chase, Mase and Cole in front of Colossus(now called Fire Dragon - and yes, these are the same pics Laura had on her page).

The kid version of 'Blast Off'.

This last Friday I was about ready to leave to go to the Middle Fork of the Salmon and Stanley to go fishing for the day and Russ decided he was so bored that he wanted to tag along. He lost 4 flies within the first 1/2 hr of fishing. But anyway, it was a really nice day and the fishing was alright. I did catch this snake though. Russ wouldn't get near it.
We went to Stanley and fished on Valley Creek. We found this dead 'fish' on the side of the creek...it looks like some prehistoric saltwater fish, what the hell is it? If anyone know, please tell me.
Russ was bugged that the fishing suddenly started to suck.
And I just have to mention this...I went to Costco on Saturday an hour after they opened, and more then 1/2 the books were gone. I'm about 300 pages in, and so far it's probably my favorite.

I went and got my book at midnight on the 2nd to make sure I didn't miss out. I was banned from reading it because I had company in town, but I finally finished yesterday. Oh my, I so love these books, what will I do with all of my time? I may have to read them again. Oh check out Stephanie Meyers web site, she is writing an Edward version and has the first chapter.
