You know alot people believe a good outing is without the kids, we would not have it any other way. The kids are the most important parts of our outings. It just isn't any fun without them. I can remember when I was a kid, my parents would always go on vacations or anything and leave us 4 kids with someone so they didn't have to deal with us. Our son is like a fixture. Where we go he goes and if he can't go, well we don't either. Son caught a really big bass too, well sort of. lol We all had been swimming and then stopped and started fishing. Son thought he would throw his line out and then run up in the woods a sec and be right back. Didn't think he would catch anything. Then I look over and his pole is being drug into the river. Hubby ran over there just in time to grab the pole. It was already in the water a couple feet. He started reeling it in and it was this big bass. We measured it and it was 17 inches long. (That is big for us). lol We caught all kinds of perch and had fish for supper. Didn't sleep very well, lol the ground is very uncomfortable for sure. It has been a year since I camped out and I know why now. lol All's home now and safe and sound and everyone had a great time. Lots of memories to share. Hopefully it won't take us so long to do another one again. We always say that we need to do this more often but then we all get so caught up in our lives that it usually is a once a year thing. Oh, and the best part is I only seen one snake. Infact our canoe was banking right where it was sitting on th rock. I started screaming from hubby to back us up quick cause there was a snake. I am shivering just thinking that we got that close to him to begin with. I wanted to smack it with the paddle but then I thought if I did, I might send it flying back into our canoe and that would not be good. lol Don't like snakes! Did I ever mention I don't like snakes? lol Well, that is what has been happening here lately and when I get those pictures developed, I will try and share some with you all. Have a great day!

This is not us but wanted to show some of the river we were on. Sorry I don't have pictures but we did take some with those disposable cameras and still have to take them to get developed. There were 7 of us with 3 canoes. We canoed about 15 miles in a two day trip. We wanted to take it nice and slow and camp out about half way. That way we fished and swam and just played around. At one point we stopped and the guys found a place where there were worms in the river washup stuff. Well my dear hubby stepped right into a nest of yellow jackets. I didn't see it but the guys said that they had him just covered. So he went running to the water but by the time he got there, they left him. Thankfully he only got stung 5 times. They said he had hundreds of them on and around him. We took a guy that works with my hubby with us, and he doesn't know how to swim and has never been canoeing. He had it mastered pretty quick. He and our son C rode together. They had a blast. They were going backwards and from side to side of the river. I am still laughing as I am typing it. It was so funny and reminded me of my hubby and I on our first trip. Then son wanted to play a game of T-Bone. lol That is an expression I heard from a fellow homeschooler that got hit by another car. I had never heard of that and when I told son, well it was a good way of calling running into each others canoes. lol We were always in shallower waters when doing this and never really trying to tip anyone over just making each other think they were going to. Then we had racing and to watch the little 7 year old paddle his hardest and get in front of us was so cute. Comments
