We went to Mill Hollow one Saturday morning to take the kids fishing. They had so much fun! Emily caught 6 fish, and Brett caught 7!
Hahaha, such a funny boy!
Mike convinced Savannah to try and reel a fish in that he had on, once she started to reel it in the fish pulled. Savannah freaked out saying, "It moved!" She threw the pole down and would not try again.
Liam loved seeing the fish. The first time he touched the fish he pulled his hand back quickly, probably because it was wet. Then he immediately put his hand out and had a death grip on the poor fish! Luckily we were able to pry his hands loose and let the fish go, it swam away. Hopefully it survived the attack!

There is an amazing lodge up by Mill Hollow where you can rent it during the weekend. It belongs to Granite School district, but is available to rent to the public. Family reunion anyone? It would be such a fun place to go.
It was so beautiful in the mountains, I just love Utah!
They even had an amphitheater by the lodge. Aren't these two so cute?
My little boy is getting so big! I love that he lives life to the fullest.

It was such a fun day! Hopefully we can get at least one more fishing trip in this year. Fishing is one thing I remember doing a lot growing up and I loved it as a kid. It is fun seeing my kids enjoy it too. I remember my Dad couldn't even get his pole in most fishing trips because he was so busy helping us. Mike couldn't get his pole in either, but had so much fun helping the kids learn how to fish.

Oh my goodness Jody! When did your kids get so big?! They are adorable. I saw Bishop Rapp yesterday at the Harmons store near my house and it made me miss my Bountiful friends so much! I hope that you are all well!!

Dad
What a fun trip! I'm with Carolee when DID your kids get so big? I need you and Mike to take my kids fishing too, I don't actually know how to fish. I think its hilarious that Liam was ready to grab that fish and take it home with him! A new teething toy perhaps? Love it!
Looks like a fun day! Brett is so funny!

The message we would like to share is that Mill Hollow is one of the most valuable assets that Granite School District currently has in its educational arsenal. There are private citizens, both former student campers, parents, and future parents that are so interested in saving Mill Hollow for future generations that we are willing to serve in a variety of capacities to find funding, understand the resource allocation and develop a plan for ensuring that Mill Hollow will continue to be one of the best outdoor education experiences for students far into the future.
