"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin." Outdoorsmanship offers a common goal,

dream, purpose, and ambition. Admiration
of our beloved nature, stirred with passion,
creates widespread force taking a stand against
pollution, and any other unethical practices that
threaten conservation and preservation. Therefore,
appreciate your organic surroundings as you may
and give what you can and must to retain what is
treasured.


What a better way to start off the season than to have our kids, Cody 4, and Gracie 6 years old, catch ten rainbows with their Daddy, Uncle Brandon, and friend Jason. They were guests on Pattison Lake in Lacey, WA. The fellas served as guides and deckhands to our little fisherkids. The largest fish brought aboard was 18 1/2 inches long...it bypassed the scale before making it to the taxidermist. Cody reeled that brute in on his Spiderman fishing pole all by himself! I was working at the hospital, peaking at text messages of pictures of their good fortune while on break, and couldn't wait to get the play-by-play straight from the fish's mouth...so to speak. From absorbing the joy that my children exuded, to the shoulder raising pride of their daddy, an outdoorgeous moment was had by all.
