Camping and Fishing

We had such a fun camping trip with the Davis's and the Jorgensens this summer.  Here are some of the highlights. 

These troopers woke up before 5 am to fish and came home with more than a dozen.  The ironic thing was that the fish started biting at around 7 am.

The kids had so much fun creating clubs and little spots in the trees that were the girls'  spot or the boys' spot.  There was even a fallen tree that crossed over a creek that was called the bridge to Terabithia.  It was hours of creative fun!!

These were the self appointed guards who were scaring away any would be campers from this spot so that when our friends the Jorgensens showed up they would have a place to camp.

The first hike to some falls.  Mr. M ended up with a rock in the head thanks to Baby R and her lack of good aim.

Fishing with Dad

The Davis family and the Vance crew sharing a gourmet meal.

Fishing at a more reasonable hour (7am)  Everyone came home with at least one fish!!

The second hike to a falls.  This one was wet fun and uphill all the way back!!

After all the friends went home Dad took us on one more waterfall hike.  It was rated difficult.  We ended up hiking too far making it a total of 4 miles up "difficult" hiking.  The next picture shows how much fun that hike was.

Not worth it!!!
