Rockport 2010

Oh how I love to go camping and enjoy the Memorial Weekend. It's the first sign of Summer. We had a blast this camping trip. We hiked, fished, biked and went for a drive. It was with our good friends the Binghams whom we love to go with. They love to wake up late just like us and stay up late playing games, well in my old age I was in bed by Midnight every night. Haha
The weather was good, we didn't not get rained on except at night but we didn't care. The dog had to sleep in the trailer because she was growling at every animal out there. We were next to the river and the Binghams said the birds kept making noise all night. I never heard it but that could have been what the dog was going nuts over.
We ended up fishing at Smith and Moorehouse just up the road a bit. I don't think there are fish in Rockport, maybe if you had a boat. So we went over to Smith and Moorhouse and caught about 25 fish in the few hours we were there. It could have been more because I lost tract and it seems like every cast there was a fish. The boys had a great time and said they can't wait to go back in September. Tanner caught the biggest fish and he also caught the smallest. It was so funny to see him pull in this 5 inch fish. We all had a great laugh. Here is one of Wayne's smallest fish, Hey he was just happy to be catching some after sitting at Rockport all weekend long.

Here is my fish, well not exactly, I just reeled it in and Wayne wanted a picture. WoW I look scary.
Here is Karsyn and her friend Ashley catching their fish. These girls remind me what it was like to be a young girl. It also reminded me that I love having BOYS! All I can say is wow.

Here is Tanner's small fish. He is still so proud of it, but yes we threw it back to grow up so we can catch it in September.

The kids on the hike. It was only a mile but the higher we got the more snow there was. We were not prepared with boots and stuff but it was fun to do something active.

Kelly, Monica, Wayne, Karsyn and Ashley on the trial.
Kelly falling down the trail. I thought it was so funny. The kids kept sliding down but not Kelly he was going to walk down. Well he tried.

Boys goofing off as usual.

I have to tell ya about this bird. I had just cleaned the back window of our trailer. It is a fairly large window, which I love because it lets in so much light. Anyway this bird kept trying to fly right through the window. It tried for 3 hours or so. We would just watch it do this over and over again. Maybe I should have left the window dirty! That's what I get for trying to clean.

Hope your Memorial Day was wonderful also. Looking forward to Summer.
