The staff from the school held a surprise wedding reception for us tonight. They had a nice dinner planned and even had a cake for us to cut. They were concerned that we didn't get to save the top from our cake for our one year anniversary, since it was fake, so they gave us the top of the cake to save. We were so surprised! The party was really nice, and the company was splendid. ( I will post pictures once I get them from Darlene).
We got to enjoy the river for a little bit today. It got pretty chilly and the fish weren't biting, so we weren't gone for too long, but it was nice to get out. We walked down to the "pit," where everyone keeps their boats. There were trout all over the place, but we didn't have much luck catching them. Brett landed one on his fly rod early, and I hooked one later, but by that time I was so excited to have a fish on that I just got too excited and lost it :( The trout are so pretty compared to the icky salmon that are still left swimming around (am I allowed to say that?). I must not have made it out much last year, because I cannot believe many dead fish there are. The salmon just die off--there are sick, rotten, dead salmon all over the place!
Brett was even brave enough to let me try his fly rod. It took a while, but I think I have the motion down now. It turns out that it takes some coordination to maneuver it--I kept getting tangled in the line--but eventually I got it.
