First day of school and fishing

 The boys started school early this year which made for a short summer due to the fact that school in Korea didn't get out til late!  They still had fun playing in the pool and exploring all that Tucson has to offer.  And all good things have to come to an end as does summer.  They could have been more excited to go back though, for some amazing reason they all LOVE school and think it's the most fun place EVER!!  AWESOME!! Hopefully they will be able to keep that thought all the way through college!  Fingers crossed! :)

Heading off

Going to SCHOOL!!

 Due to the fact that there was a REALLY long line of cars and a LOT of parents bring their kiddos into the first day of school, we were LATE!  So these pictures are taken as we RAN our kids to each class, snapped a quick picture and then ran off to get the next kid to class.  I guess we get to live and learn.  

We get some amazing rainbows around here, especially during monsoon season.  It usually only rains in part of the city and the other part is bright and sunny, thus the rainbows.  They are great though and we have truly enjoyed getting to see them. 

This is taken from in front of our house looking away from it.

We are a little crazy about the self picture feature on our camera, and have a TON of these shots! :)

This is the wash out back behind our house and the mountains that we get to look out at every day.

That is the extent of neighbors that we see in our back yard!

This is the most water I have ever seen in this wash.  I guess it flows more in the spring.  Can't wait to see it!

 Doug was so excited to find out that there is a lake up on Mt. Lemon and they STOCK IT WITH TROUT!!!  It's only a 45 min drive from our house with no stoplights between us!  This was our first time up there and it was a wonderful day.  We got up there really early in the thought that the fish eat early in the morning (you know the idea that the early bird gets the worm), well in this case the early fisher just sits there until 9 am when the fish start eating.  I kid you not!!  Nothing bit until 9am!!  Then at nine we couldn't pull them off the lines fast enough!  Crazy.  Live and learn yet again!

 See the hat behind Bryce there?  That is the lady that clued us into all the secrets of fishing at this lake.  It was wonderful having her help and fishing has been amazing since!  Thanks lady!

I love this picture!! 

The boys with their catch for the day! 

 

And of course you have to clean them... well or at least Doug does, I don't touch them!! :)

 So if anyone wants to come out and visit and have some guaranteed good fishing, we'll take  you out!  It's great!  I even enjoy sitting and reading a book while they fish!  Hey, I don't have a license I can't fish! ;)
