Fishin' in the Dark

Pictures as promised...I know you've been holding your breath.


First off is Little E at New Hogan Lake, notice the tiny trees, the abundance of sun, heat, and dirt. This photo was taken before all the injuries were sustained.















And here we are enjoying BBQ'd burgers, all except Little E, who is enjoying a ketchup sandwich.

















And T finally got to go fishing, after throwing rocks into the lake for a bit, whatever fish may have been there were long gone. And since there was some algae there that was getting caught on the lure, he ended up happily casting his rod with nothing more than a weight and a bobber. If you noticed the sandals, we brought shoes for him on this trip, but they were the one pair that didn't fit him well anymore, so he wore those flippers the whole trip. His feet were pretty filthy by the end of the day, but it's all worth the fun of cleaning when you get to go camping. He's been asking to go back almost every day.

And I'll leave you with this picture from Big Trees, and boy are they. The tallest living things on the earth. Really makes you appreciate the ants crawling around underneath. Well, maybe not appreciate, but notice in a different way. This is of the kids in the middle of a tree that had this hole cut in it so cars could drive through about 80 years ago. It's one of the smaller trees at only around 200 feet.
