A few weeks ago, my family made a visit for their family vacation. It was fun to have them here and show them around Richland. We spent most of our time outdoors and in the Columbia River.
We went pedal-kayaking and swimming at Howard Amon Park.
We also took a day and went fishing on the Columbia River. In the morning, the brother and sisters went catch and release sturgeon fishing. My mom and dad watched all the grandkids. We only caught one sturgeon, but one of the best parts was being out on the river together. When we finally caught our fish, we each had a turn to reel it in. The fish was huge and it took working together to make sure we kept it.
This is the sturgeon we caught. It was just under 9 feet long and weighted over 400 hundred pounds. Aaron, Julia and Karen each got to help hold the fish before it wiggled from their grasp and swam away. It's something I would definitely do again.
Then in the afternoon, my parents and Natalie came on the boat while others left to watch the grandkids and we went walleye fishing. It is a fish similar to trout. Aaron and Natalie with the help of Anna caught some fish. A few nights later we had a fish fry and it was delicious!

We had to take some pictures of all the grandkids together. Natalie especially loved being the big helper to the babies. We loved having them come visit and can't wait to do it again soon!
