Great Camp Out '08

This past weekend we headed for Truman Lake for a family camp-out. The weather was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the critters were friendly! The first night - by the campfire, Kevin & I encountered a LARGE raccoon searching for food. The second day, Kevin's brother & his son joined us for a fun filled day. We were up close & personal with a deer & turkey right by the road. We went on a hike (tikes & mosquitos were everywhere), we fished at the hatchery, & we went to a "Skull Mania" presentation - where we learned all about skulls & animals native to the area.

Kevin & the kids built a fort out of twigs & set it on fire. Fire was a big deal for the boys.

Brent, Tyler, Isabelle, John Michael, & Kevin

Tyler caught our only fish - 4 in all!
