Maple Grove Campout!

Holy Cow! We have honestly not done anything fun with our boys this summer. Todd is way to tied up at work. So this last weekend after church we hooked up to our trailer and headed out for a night to camp. It was short...but we had a blast! Maple Grove is close by and we heard the fishing was great so that is where we went. I am glad we did because it was soooo beautiful there!!



































Sunday night we cooked some yummy food and then just went for a ride to spotlight some deer. We saw a couple big bucks and the boys thought it was so cool to see them in the dark because their eyes were glowing from the spotlight. Then Monday we fished, fished, and fished. I can not believe how many fish we caught. Seriously, every cast we would hook one. It got to the point my boys were sick of it and wanted to do something else. I am sure they aren't use to actually catching fish when we go fishing because this is the third time we have gone this summer, and the first time we have actually caught some! :) They were also pretty nervous around the fish and you can see it in these pictures!!!!

Briggs was killing me!!! He loves to play any sports and he couldn't decide what to play. He finally put the frisbee around his neck and golfed with the baseball bat!! :)

Pace caught the first fish! You can't tell because of his hat, but he was totally crying and freaking out! It scared him when the fish started jerking on the pole. You can tell from Todd's expression that he was totally like toughen up Pace. Don't be a wimp...it is a fish! :)
You can tell on Jaygen's face he was totally crying too when he caught his first fish! Come on boys!!!

I can't leave out the way fun rope swings in the trees over the stream. We had tons of fun on them. Todd's first time on the swing was so funny. He jumped on their feeling pretty cool but then got stranded over the water and couldn't swing back to the shore. I was to busy laughing at him that I couldn't help him. Sorry Todd, but it was hilarious!!

I can't say I am a real fisherman because I won't put my worm on the hook or take my fish off, but I have tons of fun catching them and reeling them in...ha ha! Now you know where my boys get it from, huh?!

I thought this was so sweet! Pace grabbed Briggs' hand and helped him down the trail. What are brothers for??!!

Jaygen and Briggs

I am so glad that we took this quick trip. We had the best time together and made some really good memories!
