The Guys Camping

Leanne took off Friday and went on Jessica's big 6th grade field trip. The students rode a chartered bus and went to Louisville to see the Slugger Museum, then they had lunch on a river boat, and finished the day touring Marengo Caves. Leanne and Jessica left straight after the trip and headed to Leanne's sisters to spend the night and Saturday with them (and get to see Cassie before prom)!

So, Kyle and Jack and I loaded up for a quick fishing and camping trip. We went to Hanging Rock, which is a Christian camp that a good friend of mine works at. It has a nice pond and some really good trails.

Cruising up 63!

Unloading


The tent is up!

Looking at our campsite from across the pond.

Ummm ... this was the only fish caught.
And I caught it on my first cast.

Fishing came to an end when Matt & Kara
showed up on their four-wheelers.

One minute Kyle was "posing" on the four-wheeler
and the next he had convinced Matt to let him
take it for a spin! Needless to say, Kyle was thrilled.


Hiking Trails

Jack was our "trail-scout."
He kept ahead of us on the trail except
for the occasional chasing of a squirrel.

See the little white dot? That's Jack.
He would run up ahead and then
he would come back to see where we were.
Then he would run ahead again.

When we left our campsite we heard a tree fall.
When we got back the fallen tree
was pretty close to our campsite.

Matt & Kara joined us for dinner.
Hot dogs, Brats, & Chips.

Later we had S'mores and Matt taught
us how to cook a "biscuit on a stick."

Kyle made his own that was filled with
chocolate syrup, whipped cream,
a Hershey bar, and a marshmallow.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset!
Then Matt, Kyle and I played Frisbee
(with a "light-up" Frisbee)

In the morning, we packed up and then
enjoyed a quick breakfast of chocolate
mini-donuts on the tailgate of the truck
before we headed home.
