Happy birthday America!!
Wow! Today was full of a lot of super-silly fun!! I am officially calling this the day of 'animals'! We came across some unique creatures today and played with the usual ones too! Today was our last full day of fun... we have to be packed up and out of here by 2pm on Monday... *sniff-sniff*
Below: Today's catch of the day! We cooked all the catfish we caught and ate them tonight!
Below: Chris got to drive the boat today for a little while!! Can you see the happy look on his face through his sunburn??
Below: Katie and I having some silly-fun while swimming today in the lake!
Below: Katie 'touching' a small catfish we caught and put back in the lake...
Below: A frog on a water-gun that was in the pool... yes, my mom brought a pool camping!
Below: Well, we are not sure what creature this is... but it was super-large and on my cousin Laura and Russell's tent this morning...
We also had a scary event happen today... my son Nathan snuck-off to go on a boat ride with some other people in our group, but did not tell the people at our camp he was going, and told the people on the boat we said it was OK. Well, needless to say everyone freaked out because he was 'missing'... we even called the park rangers and notified the front gate people. When the boat pulled up we were all standing there with a park ranger and the people on the boat were freaking out too wondering what they did wrong. Nathan got the 'lecture' to NEVER do that to us again and we made him apologize to everyone he scared half-to-death!! He now tells us every single place he is going; even if he's going into a camper! Scary moment, but super-glad he was OK!! (Chris wants me to add that he figured all along that Nathan was on the boat, and kept telling me to calm down... easier said than done!!)
We will be on the road home tomorrow afternoon...
