A tribute to Leilani for Mothers Day

Family fishing in Salt Lake City, Utah...

Sunshine smiles and a bucket of ice... 

family packs a picnic lunch... 

A drive up the mountain 

to a lake on top... 

where fish are jumping... 

Robert and Leilani with suncaps.. 

Aleena, Shannah, and Kahless 

on a search for the best spot 

with fishing poles and bait... 

Now just sit and wait... 

The line is tugging frantically... 

Children are excited to reel one in... 

Colors of a Rainbow on a trout 

A perfect catch for Mothers Day... 

Hip hip hooray!!!

lovely tribute and a gorgeous scene. a day out with the children on a sunny day, mmmm it can't get any better. I miss those days when my children where young and I used to take them out. I look forward to having grandchildren.
