We went to Spirit Lake first, but I was the only one to have a bite and reel one in. The boys couldn't be outdone, so we ended up going to a little creek/pond where the fishing is always good, but miniature.
The Fishing Spot
From there, I went on to catch two more fish before any of them caught anything. This was the first one I caught at the new spot. Isn't he cute?
After that, I lost the fishing race. I think Brandon ended up catching 8 and Zach and I both caught 7. I almost think half of what I caught was the same poor fish, lol. The best part about the whole experience was how hungery these little buggers were! Two seconds after throwing your line out, you'd always seem to get nibbles or a fish on the line. Needless to say, between the bursts of rain and reeling in fish, we stayed busy.
One of the bigger fish Zach caught.
Which one is bigger? That was the everlasting debate of the day.
After fishing, we came home and got ready to go to the fireworks in Evanston. Sad to say, but I forgot my camera so I don't have any pics, but it's CRAZY over there. In the land where illegal fireworks are an avid commodity, everyone is showing off what would be Rupert's big firework show! There's a smog of firework smoke that settles in over the town at night, and I LOVE it!! If you ever get a chance, you should come and see it!

I nabbed this photo from the internet, so you can get an idea of what it's like there.
The city does it's own firework show to music, which was really nice. We met up with all of Zach's family for the festivities. Baby Jacob was just mesmerized by all the lights and sounds. It was cute! We didn't do our own fireworks because Zach had to work graves over the whole holiday, but overall it was a good 4th and we had fun!
