Granita Park

There is a place in the middle of nowhere,

filled with sagebrush,
clay,
fields,
sunshine,
trees,
wheel lines,
ponds,
fences,
and memories.I have been there a few times as a kid but,

Granita Park

is where Willy grew up.It was a wonderful place for his family to live.
They could shoot, ride motorcycles, hunt, swim, fish, and work.There are still tracks running up the sides of the hills
where they rode their motorcycles,
and jumps in the back yard.

It is fun to here him talk about all the things they did.Willy's grandpa Hansen sold it a few years ago.

It has changed hands a few times,
and the new owner gave us permission to go
fishing and swimming
last week which was a lot of fun.We were excited to take the kids down to see
where Daddy grew up,and they had lots of fun playing.
Fishing is one of Willy's favorite things to do.
The ponds are full of bass.
Willy and Darron both caught good sized fish.It seems timeless, not much has changed.

Grandpa's Pond

Many summer nights have
been spent up at

Grandpa's Pond.

It is so peaceful and quite,
(until someone catches a fish)
The fishing is really good,

and everyone has been able to catch something,

even if it is only 2 inches long.

My favorite part is the

catch and release.

July has been wonderfully cloudy and wet.

The clouds make a beautiful backdrop
for a perfect night.I have fun with the camera
or a good book.
Clayton absolutely loves fishing,
just like Dad.

Like Father,
Like Son!

They usually stay long after the rest of us head home.

Happy Fishing
