The Reservoir

Back in our BK (before kids) days, we used to fish, ALOT. At the beach, the bay, the reservoir near our house. We would fish early mornings on the weekends, dusk after work and even late at night on the docks. It was our quiet relaxing, our time together, yet apart.. the commonality that could also be competition. More than that, it was great fun.
But when pregnancy came, Phil worried about the hikes we were taking to fish, and so it was suspended, much to our displeasure. Since his injury, he still can't fish....but we decided, we'd take the hike down to the water at the reservoir we used to frequent. The kids LOVED it, Jade was fascinated by everything, Hunter wanted to explorer, I was dying to take pictures and poor Phil was left worrying about everything in between. Unfortunately, the pictures aren't the perfection I was hoping for. However, it certainly did capture all that was going on... Jade has a HUGE smile, Hunter is too interested in everything else to even think to say "cheese" and Phil is obviously worried about the edge of the rock I'm standing on to get this picture. If I had thought of it, I should have taken a picture of the precipice I was standing on, however I thought it best to move myself and relieve Phil of the concern he was having.



The close up... Hunter as you can see is trying to use the stick to hit a stone that is out of the frame.
