Our Camping Trip

We had a great time on our camping trip! Below are pics.. LOTS of pictures from the trip... Some great highlights from the trip are:
Nathan wondering what the water pistol was doing at a bait shop.. "MOM, how do you use THIS for bait?" he asked
We have a tent that holds our two king size mattresses.. the kids on one and us on the other.. we have had the tent for over a year and NEVER used it.. it worked great!
The gang caught enough fish to have a fish fry the second night we were there.. yummy!
The camping area we were in held about 20 camping sites.. first day and night we were the only ones there! .. the second night a man and his German Shepherd showed up.. it was like we had the place to ourselves.
We had our tent close to the water and there was a small "cove" with a sandy beach and rocks the kids LOVED playing in.. and Trixy LOVED swimming in!
Animal encounters included .. Raccoons (several), an armadillo, Sun Fish Perch, Black and White Bass, Night Crawlers (worms), a Humming Bird and its nest!!!!...
The fishing was great.. the kids caught so many fish it was hard to keep the bait on the hook.. By the time we were done, the kids had figured out how to pinch their own section of worm off and put it on the hook all by their selves!
Enough typing.. here are the pictures!

Those pictures are awesome Ruth! Looks like it was a great time. I especially love the one of Catherine and Joel walking together hand in hand. I'd frame that one and put it on her wall or something! (=
