Fishing Lessons

For Family Home Evening we went to Ken's Lake to learn all about Fishing

Kenny had his fishing Kayak, and although Capri was tethered to the shore, she thought paddling around in the lake was pretty fun!  

She got pretty good at,  and wanted to "do it again" over and over and over :)

Went we got home from fishing at Cozzens Camp, Kenny was appalled at how we had set up the kid's fishing poles.  So he taught us the proper way to do it.  It was fun to learn, but I'm like, "Hey, we caught fish!"  

Jill started fishing with Kenny's fly rod, and there was a beautiful sunset on the lake, so I got a few pictures of her fly fishing.  You can't really tell she's fly fishing because I was all about the sun set.  But we know.  

She even caught a fish on that fly rod!!  That's Drew's rod in the foreground.  Just so you can tell it was fishing we were doing.  

It was a fun Family Home Evening.  And nice to get back to having those after we took a sabbatical for the summer.  Love having family here!  Wish you were ALL here!! 

The Cozzens Reunion

Aiden on the zip line

There he goes!!  We had Kara waiting nearby in the boat in case he needed rescued. 

And he's in the water.  Bravest 7 year old I know :)

Aiden, Chase and their new friend, Alora on the slip 'N slide

Capri riding a toy tractor.  The 2.5 seconds she wasn't on the slip 'n slide

There she goes!!!  And look at that smile.

Big splash at the end :)

And at the top, too, apparently.

Ooops, she got a little upside down for a minute.

It was a HUGE slip 'N slide.  And she slid down the thing over and over.  All day long. 

Another upside down moment. 

Since I was in charge of making sure "Capri doesn't drown"  I got a lot of pictures of her :)

Drew on the zip line

Mid air arabesque

Kimbrey loved the paddle boat.  And the kids loved rowing the water boats.  There was something for everyone.

 

Kimbrey's turn on the zip line

And she's flying!!

SPLASH!!

Daniel, Chase and Aiden on the slip 'N slide

They made it to the bottom with their sled still under them.  Quite a feat!

Daniel on the zip line

Looking good!

And he's just about to drop

 

Chase and Bridger

Charlie stuck to playing in the water at the bottom

We had a really good time!!  There was something for everyone, and no one was bored for a minute!  Cozzens Family Reunion fun!!

Our Family Home Evenings

 

We have such interesting Family Home Evenings now that Jill and Kenny have moved back.  Tonight we went to Moonflower Canyon for a picnic.  

         Here I'm  just sittin' back enjoying the great spring weather and beautiful view at Indian Ladder.  Those little black stumpy things are my shoes BTW.

                                      Aiden and Jill.  Momma and son. Exploring the rock caves.

                     Capri wanted Aiden to push her in the stroller.  This did not end well, by the way.  

                                           Spider Monkey.  And, I'm loving that background!!

                                                           Hey, a jumping Spider Monkey

                                             Cute Capri hiking in her little pink flip flops. 

Here Dave and Kenny are discussing an aluminum beer can Kenny found in the back of Dave's truck. Yeah, don't ask.  Just a normal FHE here in Moab. 

The Cozzens Cousins

 A few weeks ago Kyle, Michelle and their boys got to come for a visit.  It was a sad reason to visit - Michelle's grandfather passed away and they came for his funeral.  But we managed to sneak in a few minutes of fun here and there.

 These boys are SO creative.  Here they are retrieving Aiden's shoes without ever stepping foot off the tramp

 And here, Porter is getting the best of Aiden in Cousin's Tramp Wrestling.  Do you know how hard it is to type out cousin's when your name is Cozzens?

                        I absolutely adore cute baby Ford's nose scrunch.  Isn't he just the cutest?!!
