Our Fishing trip to Hells Canyon!

We left Friday morning for our Fishing trip to Hells Canyon.
Justin and Siska also came and we left our boys (Tys & Logan) with their Pake & Beppe. (Rudi's parents)

We had such a great time, the weather was good. We had some rain while we were fishing, but that was ok, because the fish were biting really good! I was just glad that it wasn't too hot!
So we fished for a couple of hours on Friday, but didn't catch much that day. There was thunder and lightning that night, and it was kind of humid, so we didn't sleep very well.. but oh well.

Saturday we got up early to go fish again, we fished pretty much all day and caught lots of fish, mostly bass. I caught one fish myself too....!
We also caught 5 big sturgeons, that was a lot of fun! The biggest one was 5ft10!!!

The place we stayed at served great meals, and the rooms were simple and small but nice. The beds were not the most comfy, but we slept way better the second night. We really enjoyed just being away for a couple of days and spend some time together. We did miss Tys, but we also were busy fishing and had a lot of fun!

On Sunday we fished a little bit more and then we headed back home. Around 8 PM we got home and got to see our sweet Tys again! It was so fun to see him and he was happy to see us too! Pake en Beppe said that the boys behaved really well and they had a lot of fun together!

Now we're back to normal life, Rudi stays very busy, there's a lot of jobs he wants to get done before the baby comes, and I feel like I have a ton of things to do as well before the new baby!
We had a check up yesterday, and everything went well, except for that my group B strep test came back positive. That means that I need antibiotics as soon as I get to the birthing center, and we also have to stay 24 hours in stead of 8 hours after the baby is born... which is actually fine with me! We're very excited and can't wait to meet the newest addition!

But it's Miriam's turn first! She is due this coming Saturday!
