We were not as good about taking pictures the second night. We had yummy chili & chopped salad for dinner & s’mores for dessert. We played a game where all the kids went & hid in the woods & the adults had to come find them. Once they caught them, the adult brought the kids…

It didn’t take us long to get soaked! We found these logs floating in the water & decided to try & move them around the lake. 

Literally, from the moment I woke up, I started asking if we could go fishing. I tried every adult that was there. Finally, we were able to go. The day before we had driven because a) we weren’t sure how far it was & b) we didn’t trust the weather. This morning, we decided to…

This limb was too perfect to pass up. The next morning, we woke up to delicious breakfast burritos with eggs, bacon, cheese & salsa, & yummy coffee, all at our campsite.

It did rain a bit that afternoon, but otherwise, we had amazing weather. The first night, we had yummy beef brisket with peppers & spices. It was delicious. We poured it over rice & had beans on the side. Once all the dishes were cleaned, we made s’mores. We all ran around between our three…

Later that afternoon, our other friends showed up. Luke, Kaia, & Abby came to play as well.

Jesse & I found a great log to sit on while we waited for our bobber to go under (which never happened).

Dad taught me how to cast & I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I was very proud of myself. I really just liked casting & reeling it back in. Repeat, over & over. It was awesome. When asked what my favorite part of the trip was, I definitely think fishing!
