I wish I could have posted some fish pictures but the day we decided to fish Donner Lake, Truckee, California it was windy and there was a lot of wave riders and jet skiers churning up the water. We had fun though.
Here are some pictures. These automatic cameras wash out a lot of the view when shot from the shade. It is quite beautiful in the high Sierras. Dominick

We decided that the fish were not biting and the river raft was too tricky for the kids to handle in the rough water we decided to take the raft to the river.

When we got to the river we met some friends that had already run the river and they put the kids on their raft for a little run attached to a rope.

The kids loved it.

Aiala: Thanks for the kind words. While I was posting this I noticed that I have been on this site for 40 days 27 minutes. I promise I will get a life. :D Dominick
Looks like fun. I was impressed with them, they are good kids.
Looks like they are having fun with Grandpa! ;)

We were in a swimming hole. Sophie is a master swimmer. She swam with the YMCA swim team. Also I along with several people were right there. We use the life jackets when we run the (light) rapids. I got you though. Thanks for your concern. Dominick
Olivia has one though.
You're a good Nonno Dominick ;), I didn't get to meet mine, I'm the baby of seven :(.
All pics look good, but that third one is really nice; look like they're really serious about catching something.
You need to start the beautiful young ladies on Penn though ::).
Very nice.
Cute...You'd better watch out for my son...he's a ladies man just like his father and grandfather, and probably his great grandfather (he died when I was 2 years old so I couldn't positively tell you). ;D
