Camping

We have just returned from a family weekend at Camp Grady Spruce on Possum Kingdom Lake. We left Friday and returned home Sunday. We shared the trip with our neighbors, The Thompsons, who have 2 children close to Evan and Claire's ages-they also have a boat for fishing. Evan and Claire had a blast. Evan is a budding fisherman. He spent the majority of time fishing off the boat dock, checking his line off the shore, or out on the boat fishing. Unfortunately, he didn't catch anything. He also got to shoot some targets with "rifles" and bow and arrows. He was very excited that he hit the target. Both Evan and Claire got to go horseback riding. Evan rode a horse named Cinnamon and Claire rode Candy Paint. Claire spent a lot of time wading in the water at the edge of the lake..even though it was pretty cold, she kept going back. She left in the very last clean and dry thing she had. She also had a pink fishing pole that she kept "fishing" with (its hard to catch anything without a hook or bait). In reality, we spent most of the time untangling the line. Of course we finished off the evening with some cooking out and Smores! What more could a kid want?

We got home, and Ladd and I both needed a nap. Evan was ready to do more though. Although, I do have to say that he slept well that night.

Baseball season is gearing up and there are lots of happenings during the last week of school. More to come soon.
