The Little Brown That Made My Day...wait, that sounds funny.

On Sunday evening Noah and I went to Dick's Sporting Goods Park to watch the Colorado Rapids take on English Premier League Team Everton FC. Everton was clearly a much better team and if they had been in season instead of pre-season they would have ripped us apart. To the credit of the Rapids they looked pretty good themselves and held up until late in the game. The highlight for me was when Everton's stud midfielder beat three rapids defenders and took a shot from 18 yards out and put it in the far left corner.

Also.......

I went Fly Fishing up at Bear Creek last night with Jason. We only walked a half mile section of stream but it was a lot of fun...and I caught my first trout in Colorado. I have to admit my first three casts usually left a lot to be desired, but my fourth and so on always got much better. I caught my Brown next to a rock with a good current running by it...the fish took me off guard soo I was pulling in line with reckless abandon and managed to get him. Its not that big of fish...but Jason said it was a big one for the area of creek we fished. Thanks for the Fishing gear Dad! It worked really well (besides the fact I was using it).


-Jason has to tie my flies on because I don't know how yet (I really mean that...YET) and I wouldn't know what fly to use anyways.


-I am starting to Like it more and more at this point....because it takes some time to find the rhythm (and to be intentional about the movements I am making with the rod/line/etc)

-My First Brown Trout!
