Memorial Day 2012 in Mercer

This past weekend we took the annual trip to Big Bear for Memorial Day weekend. Six years ago Hillary and I got engaged on the dock. Two kids and a dog later, here we are.

Rice Lake is Ready for Anglers
Estimated time of fishing 1 minute and 15 seconds, before being bored and wanting to swim or throw rocks.


If fish liked the end of the rod, Audra would catch a ton of fish.

No luck this time, but Audra and Grady would be back to give it another try later in the weekend.
