First Camping Weekend
Well it's Monday morning and the weekend is over. We took our first family campout over the weekend. It was also opening weekend for the trout fishing season. We had a good time camping and even took time out from the trout fishing to go find one geocache. Now for the trout fishing, well, I'm not a fisherman at all and this weekend proves it. The banks and docks were lined shoulder to shoulder with happy fishermen, fisherwomen, and fisherkids. Everone was pulling in trout right and left, one right after the other. They would catch the five trout limit and be on thier way. My wife and 10 year old daughter even pulled in two each. As for Me, I sat for well over five hours the two days with my line in the water and using the same bait as everyone else and had two little nibbles. No, I didn't catch a fish all weekend. I will get to eat some though since my wife and daughter caught a couple and the daughter doesn't like to eat fish. So yum yum. Mushroom season will be upon us before long. BTW, I never find any mushrooms either. The outdoor sports thing just doesn't seem to be my cup of tea. But I sure love sitting around the campgrounds and praticing on my new hobby, playing the harmonica. I don't know how to play it but it sure is fun making noise with and iritating my daughter with the noise. That turnaround is nice for a change, seeing how she is usually always the one annoying me and everyone else within a 100 yards. Of course she doesn't even have to work at it. I guess some people just have a nack for being annoying even if they try not to.
