Michael says that one of his "cabin experiences" includes a bonfire.

Last night the boys were on a Ranger ride with Grampa looking for wildlife. The Ranger was low on gas. Both boys said a prayer they would make it back safely before running out of gas, and they did.

Grampa's Fish

"The one that got away was this big.

Alex is holding up the fish that he will have for dinner this evening. It's a German Brown Trout (or is it a minnow)?

Yes boys, fishing is fun!!

Alex said this was one of the best spots to fish. Michael is trying to keep from getting bored.

The Adventures of Michael and Alex

Dennis had told us that the best fishing was at Fred's Lake in Pinetop. We went by Fred's Lake and it was closed because of high water temperatures so on we went to Hawley Lake. Alex had fond memories of being at Hawley Lake earlier in the summer and he wanted to "show" Michael around. He told us which side of the lake was best to fish on so that's where we started. We had to wait awhile in the truck because it was raining. Michael had just thrown his first line in the water and waited a few minutes before saying: "This is kind of boring." I would say that both boys were more interested in finding crawdads than they were fishing.
