Here are the pictures from the camping trip we took the weekend before the kids went back to school. Rowdy was relaxing in the shade while we put the tent up.

Paige relaxing in the tent Friday afternoon while Mike did a little fishing on Hook lake. We camped right next to this lake...you had to walk down a steep trail but hey nothing like fishing from camp.

Me and Rowdy dog Saturday on the canoe.

This one cracks me up...Mike trying to fish and Megan posing like a superstar.

Can you tell that quarters were cramped...that is Paige's foot, my hand and Rowdy resting on his beach towel at my feet next to the sack with the snacks and camera in it.

The one that got away. Megan caught the first "keeper" on Saturday, unfortunately Mike dropped it as he was trying to put it in the fish basket that hangs in the water on the side of our canoe...so now Megan has a "one that got away" story to tell. We told her she can catch him again next time we fish there..and it will be even bigger!

My first keeper of the day...and Paige got one too!

In this picture you can really tell how crowded our canoe is with 4 people and two dogs. Lucky for us the dogs are small and like to sleep on their beach towels. Also it is kinda hard to take photos from the front of the canoe..you have to be careful not to rock the boat when you are turning in your seat and trying to point the camera behind you.

The kids were enthralled with all the dragon flies, they were even giving them names. There were also a ton of butterflies but for some reason I didn't snap any pictures of them. There would be clusters of 10 or 12 butterflies on the road and paths. They would land on our tent too. They were pretty and entertaining.
