Fish Camp at Whiskey Creek

Ahhhhh, it was a fun trip!  We left Friday after school was out, and headed north (and then west) to Whiskey Creek.  We got to Fish Camp in time for a dinner of FRESH cought Halibut (way to go Grampa!!).  Lee got up early the next morning with Grampa and headed out to try it himself.  A couple of hours and TWO HALIBUT later, they came in and picked up the kids and I to try our hands at catching some supper.  Natalie cought 3 fish: 2 greenling and a ling cod, and Lilly cought 2 greenling.  YEAH!!!  Sawyer mostly cried.  I think he was too hot, and he hated his lifejacket.  He can try again next year. 

At the campground, Sawyer ran and ran and ran everywhere.  I heard a lot of "Woot, Mom" and "Whas-at Mom."  It wasn't just a lot.  It was non stop.  He was in heaven. 

   

Lilly was her little independant self, wandering here and there, only pausing to play in the sandbox, swing, or to seranade the camp.

Nats was everywhere too...helping me find rocks, playing checkers, and with Lilly, visiting Izzy the neighbor girl.

Lilly slept the entire trip home (about 2 1/2 hours) and then for another 12, so she is all cought up!!  Natalie was awake the entire trip, not wanting to miss out on anything, but had a nice sleep in, and Sawyer ate a big ol' breakfast after a good night's sleep: a fried egg, pancake, blueberries and a bowl of yah-wah to top it all off! 

 

 Whew!!  I'm hanging inside today with my bottle of aloe and drinking water by the gallons.  I got a cheery sunburn on my cheeks and back of my neck.  I hope that will remind me to PACK THE SUNSCREEN next time!
