Lower Fuller Lake, the next day (weren't too happy at the start, but glad we did it)

He's grown so much!

Upper Fuller Lake

Eagle Lake & Bird Ridge

Symphony Lake

Eagle Lake, about 4.5mi from the trailhead

Bird Ridge- great views along the way

Were a little nervous about bears since there was lots of scat and a mauling took place last month

utilizing the Nat Geological Institute's marker

selfie of the worst kind

Finally made it to the top of Bird! (was cloudy looking back)

but beautiful toward the arm

the boys (Cody with a mouth full of sunflower seeds)

such a good hiking pup

couldn't resist the photo-op

It was great hosting you, Dan. Until we meet again...

Tim's halibut

The very last cast, already over time, and I finally pull up this beaut

Kayla with her halibut

Dan, only one to catch two

Cody and Darci were too ill to make more than 4-5 casts- it was a long boat ride for them
