At the last minute, Craig's parents decided that we were going to Mammoth Lakes, CA again this year for Labor Day weekend. Craig's sister, Kelli, and her family came out from Utah to play too! This was our 4th annual Mammoth trip, and we have a great time every year. The weather is beautiful and its such a refreshing break from the raging infernos of Fresno.
We took the shuttle to Devil's Postpile, a super cool rock formation, and hiked from there to Rainbow Falls.
I love to fish. Even if I'm not catching anything, I hate the final reel-in for the day.
This year I made a deal with the fish- I promised them if they would just let me catch them already, AND pose for a nice photo, that I would return them safely back to their habitat. (minus the superficial bloody hole in the lip)
See, now that wasn't so bad? I went fishing by myself one morning while Craig went for a bike ride and let me tell you, trying to hold a fighting, writhing, slippery fish with one hand- not too tight to kill it- and fish a camera out of the tackle box, AND turn it on AND take a picture with the other hand is no easy feat. BUT- I got er done. I think this guy went and warned all of his buddies because he was the only one caught that day.
On Saturday Craig and I played golf with his Dad, and brother-in-law, Ryan. The course was beautiful, the weather was beautiful, and the results were beautiful. I won. Oh glory of glories.
Looking forward to next year!

Can I be the first to congratulate you on how freakin' awesome it is that you won?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! You guys do the coolest stuff. That's awesome about your golf win. We pretend it's just a leisurely activity but then why does everyone lie about their score after every hole? Uh huh. I beat three guys from church last Saturday. Good day for the Wightman siblings!
ReplyDeleteYou are an adorable golfer! I like fishing too, but only when I actually get one, it makes all the waiting worth it.
