Camping

Baine had a day off of school for teacher in service so that worked out good to do a camping trip.

We had one planned for two weeks earlier but it was so windy and cold that we postponed it till it was nicer. We got a tent for Christmas that we haven't used yet. I like the heat that comes with sleeping in the trailer. I said that we would try it. The boys had there own air mattress and then we had our queen one. We set up the DVD player in between the boys so they could watch the movies. Everyone was happy till it started to get colder. It was a nicer weekend to go camping but still got down to the 30's that night. Cameron got soooooo cold he ended up in our bed then by morning Ry was freezing as well so we had all four of us on our queen air mattress ya that was fun. Ryan decided that he was going to sleep in the trailer the next night so he can be warm and I was okay with that.

Ryan has had a fishing pole since his first time we went camping. It came with a little plastic fish attached to the end of it so it looks like they caught a fish. He has been fine with that and throwing rocks until now. Blaine threw his line in and caught a fish on his 1st cast. Ryan thought that was so cool and that he wanted to catch a fish as well. I told him that he already had a fish on his pole. He said no he wanted a real one. Great time to get out the weapons. He was getting a real hook on the end of pole. We told him that he had to be very very careful because it is very sharp and can really hurt someone.

We got everyone out of the way and he did his first cast all on his own. At first we thought he got it stuck on a rock but as he kept trying to get it in we saw that he had a fish on the end of it. That kid got a fish on his first try. He thought that was the coolest thing ever and he was hooked.

Ryan thought that he was pretty hot stuff and he was a fishing fool. He started catching them right and left and was super excited.

Cameron kept himself plenty busy with throwing rocks into the water. He loved it and the nice thing was that he didn't fall in like his brother did at his age. However it made fishing next to him not very fun cuz he has a great arm so the fish didn't want to come around. The only good thing is that no one on this trip was skunked and that hasn't happened in a while.

Ryan just kept pulling in more and more fish. Blaine would cast his out and then Ry would get another one on so Blaine would have to hurry and pull his line in so that he could help Ryan with his fish. Ryan caught the most on this trip with a total of 15 fish.

This picture has a little story behind it. Blaine got a picture of Ryan when he was about the same age as Cameron while we where fishing at this same lake. This was at Bog Tank around this same time of day we wanted to get as close as we could to the same picture. Now I have to find it and then we can do a comparison picture.

Funny thing is this is the same rock. This was taken Aug 18th 2007. Looking at these two pictures of my two boys at the same age really make me realize how huge Cameron is.

I wanted to try and get a picture of Blaine and I but as you can see it didn't turn out that great.

A nice dirty picture of Cameron and mommy

Ryan is being such a good big brother and explaining to Cameron about the fire and how to throw things into the fire. What a good big brother and yes both of my boys take after both of there parents and are piros.
