Len caught a fish!!!! ----------Estes Park

August 16, 2015-Sunday- Wow!!!! this morning started off far different from our usual mornings!!! At 6:15 am Lennie told me to get up!!!! He said we weren't going to take a chance on the evening rain putting a damper on after dinner fishing, soooooooo we were going now!!! He already had the to-go coffee cups filled, Otis had been out pottied & had his breakfast! I better hurry up, the early bird catches the worm??? We had the worms in the refrigerator!!! I hurry & put "FISHING" clothes on so we can get down to the pond. We're not fishing at the pond at our camp site, too weedy! There's at least 5 fishing ponds in this state park!

 The sun is barely up, we're the only ones at this pond, COOTS POND, it's so peaceful!

                                                                         Setting up!

                                  Even if we don't catch a fish, we're catching a good time!

                                                            Otis is helping Len fish!!!

                              & then......LOOK !!!!! Len reeled in a fish, a Rainbow Trout

    Yay!!!! I was more excited for Len than he was about catching the fish! (We threw it back in!)

 Come on Otis, now help me catch a fish!!!! He wasn't any help to me, I went home fish less....again!

Back at the RV after cleaning up, we packed a picnic lunch because our real goal for today was to have a picnic lunch in Estes Park & then walk around the town a little bit!

By the time we reached our picnic area it was raining! Good thing we went fishing early in the morning!!! We sat in the car for awhile waiting to see what the weather was going to do????

I hope we don't have to have our picnic in the car!

                     Noooooo we didn't!We got a break in the weather & had our picnic!!!

       After eating, we put our things back in the car & grabbed our umbrellas....just in case!!!

                  Hey Otis.....what do you think about this!?!   "FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!"

                          Ready to walk along the Big Thompson to the downtown shops!

                                                "Andy & Opie" ALWAYS out front!

                                                      Oh Oh......the rain is coming back......

 Not only is it raining, it's THUNDERING!!!! We may as well head back, Otis doesn't like thunderstorms....

                                    In fact, he's scared to death of THUNDERSTORMS!!!!

                                           Back at the car.....my poor little wet scared dog!

and so we drive back home......
