Well we finally did it! We took the kids camping and everyone made it home in one piece! I don't know what I was so worried about. Everytime Travis brought up the idea of taking the kids camping the last couple of years I thought of some excuse not to go. I guess if figured with Zachary being Zachary he would fall in the fire or hurt himself in some way but he did really good. We were going to go to jubilee lake and sent Travis and Paul ahead on friday night, with Kat, Mom, the kids and I following on Sat. morning. Turned out there was a fishing derby up there with nowhere for us to camp. We ended up going to Indian Lake, which turned out to be a very nice campground despite my apprehension at never having seen it before. The kids had a blast! With fishing and smore's topping the list of best liked activities. Makenzie really took to fishing and can even cast her own line fairly decently. She ended up catching 5 catfish(she then asked if they had dogfish since there was catfish:). Zachary caught 2 and Rylee caught 3. Kat won though with a whopping 23. We threw them back with only a few casualties. The only thing we would have changed would be to bring a boat next time as the banks are hard to fish off being full of grass and seaweeds.
