Catching big whoppers!

We took another camping trip last weekend with my parents and aunt/uncle, back to a place we visited in early June. I was really hoping the weather would be warmer this time around but unfortunately we still didn’t get any beach time in.

We did have a nice weekend though. The weather was great, a bit warmer than June, so it was perfect for fishing.

Fresh sweet corn for dinner two nights and fresh fish for dinner Saturday night made for some pretty yummy meals. And of course, you can’t forget the s’mores. My boys love s’mores…un-cooked & unassembled!

The boys had fun fishing. They love helping reel in a fish, no matter whose pole it’s on. We were catching quite a few fish – mostly small ones, not big enough to keep. I think the “fast” action helps keep the boys attention a little longer though.

We even got a little “date” time with Wyatt on Saturday night when Cory, he, Bailey & I went out in the pontoon for a little fishing before dinner while Colton stayed back with Grandpa & Grandma to help start the fire & fish.

Wyatt is serious about his fishing & will tell you that we only caught little ones with a couple big whoppers. Colton told a good “fish story” last night when my Grandpa asked him about the size of the fish we caught – they were big whoppers, he said, as big as his two hands stretched apart!!

It’s sad to think that we only have one more camping trip planned for the summer – it’s gone by too fast!
