Saying good-bye to Riley

 Mom and dad came down for a couple days to claim their little boy and Riley was so excited to see them. Donna and I had a great week with Riley, who was very good, and we miss him already.


 I wish I would of gotten a picture of Lisa's cake before we got into it. Lisa baked a "Snickers" cake and I was surprised that it tasted just like a Snickers bar.... amazing! Awesome Lisa, Thanks.

We followed the kids up to Crater lake which is only 25 miles from the hatchery. First, Jason wanted Riley to catch a fish and with fishing experts Opa and dad...how could we miss? Granny keeping an eye on RiRi while we rig up.


Jason and I may of cheated a bit because we stopped at a private pond that was planted with fish only a few weeks ago...just so Jason and I can really impress Riley with our fishing prowess. 


After 45 minutes Lisa and Donna decided to show the boys just how it's done!


Granny baited the hook with a worm and Lisa casted to the right spot so Riley could finally catch a fish. ( but Jason and Opa picked out the right pond!)


Riley was so proud of his fish, which was released back into the water unharmed.


Made it up to Crater lake and as usual it was cloudy, rainy and snowy.


Riley loved playing in the snow...what kid doesn't?


Granny and Opa have to say good-bye to our little buddy. See you in an other month Riley!


Donna took this great shot just to show you that no matter what the weather here at Crater lake...it is a beautiful place.
