boating at horsetooth



Our neighbours Diego and Amy have a boat that they keep at Horsetooth, and we joined Diego and Henry for an outing over Labor Day weekend.


 We brought food and enjoyed a picnic on a beach on the east side



It was fun to watch Henry drive as Diego pulled in the anchor and stowed the ropes.   Timothy was keen to have a go as well.


Then a lazy 'nap' at one of the coves on the west side.

FISH!



Our neighbours, Diego and Amy and their twins Olivia and Henry made two trips to the cabin with us this August.  On the second trip, we had a fishing extravaganza.  Diego, Timothy and Luke all caught their first fish ever.  It's impossible to determine which of them had the biggest look of surprise and delight on their face when it happened.  Paul, Henry and I all caught fish as well.  The barbless hooks meant that removing the fish from the hook and returning them to the lake was easy.



Paul easily caught the largest




Timothy not only caught his fish but he helped land several fish, getting good at timing with the net.



Luke was the most persistent of fisherfolk in our family.  If someone was fishing, he was either fishing as well or waiting to help with the landing.  He and Timothy took turns netting the catch.
