2nd Weekend Camping

This past weekend we had another free weekend. This rarely happens that we can just up and leave for a whole weekend, but we were so grateful to be able to go camping again and have some family time. This time we even planned during the week so we didn't have to stop and grab things at Wal-Mart or grab dinner on the way. The only thing we didn't do was reserve a spot at Mahoney. We really want to go and see what its all about there. Everyone says its a great place to camp. Well we arrived this time at 4:30 P.M. and well the camp ground was already full again. The Park Ranger working was the same guy as the week before so we told him thanks for pointing us to Memphis and we decided to go there again. It really is a nice little campground. If only they had flushing toilets instead of outhouses....Oh well its only for one night:) We got to our campground and this time got to set up the tent in the daylight. Landen really wanted to go fishing, but we told him right after dinner he could go. Last time we went camping we forgot our fishing licenses so he was bummed that he didn't get to go fishing.

Paisley, Ty, Porter, Hattie, and Landen standing by the lake. Landen is finally fishing!

Hattie was the first to catch a fish. She didn't know what to think of the catfish, but she was really sad when Ty threw it back in instead of her.


Landen still trying to catch something. We put a frog (a fake one) on his pole so he can just cast and reel back in. So he will stand there for a really long time just casting a reeling.

Hattie playing with HER worms. She was so funny she would just grab them and talk to them like she was her mom. In fact the next morning she said she needed to go find the worms because they were whining and they wanted their mommy. Well when Ty went to go get the worms there was only one worm left. She told Ty that Paisley let them all go. She later fessed up to releasing the worms to their mom.

Porter with his pan fish he caught.

Paisley reading a good book while the kids were fishing.

After all his hard work he finally caught a fish!! He did decide to switch from his frog to a worm and just wait. He is our fisherman!

The next morning the kids spent the whole afternoon playing in the dirt/ash, fishing, and going to search for an adventure! They all had a lot of fun camping. So much so that when we got home they asked if they could go camping in our backyard that night. Hopefully we will be able to make it out camping one last time before it gets to cold.
