Camping with Jeff and Samantha

 Well, I got about a month behind in blogging again. It's hard to keep up with life. A lot has been happening lately, so I will try to catch you up. 

Back in June, we went to Platte to do some camping with Jeff and Samantha. We left Friday afternoon, and got there in time for supper, drinks and visiting. Elliott is super into Pokemon again, so he brought his Pokemon game along and spent a lot of time playing with that. Some of Jeff and Samantha's friends came over, and we enjoyed visiting, some games, and then we headed to bed. 

On Saturday, we all slept in, and then we cooked up some eggs, bacon, and cinnamon rolls. Then, we headed out on the pontoon for some fishing. We had a great morning of fishing, even though it was really windy. We caught a lot of fish, but we only had 5 keepers. But, we all had fun. Elliott was the minnow man, and he kept everyone's hooks baited and he helped reel in some fish. Emma was the professional netter, and she netted every fish that needed netting. We spent a solid 3.5 hours on the river, ate lunch on the boat, and then came in. We cleaned fish, and then John, the kids and I went to the State Park to shower, which felt amazing. Then, the evening was filled with drinks, dice games, Pokemon, a lot of kids running around, football, frisbee, and more food. We had a great evening and all stayed up too late. 

On Sunday, we went fishing again. and we had a beautiful morning. We all really enjoyed our fishing outing, caught a lot of fish again, and had some keepers again. It was great. After the fishing, we came back, packed up and headed home. Both kids had a ton of fun and wanted to know if we could go back another weekend this summer. 

At home, we unpacked, made some very fresh fish tacos, and then relaxed and got ready for another week of work. It was a really nice weekend, beautiful weather, and good bonding time.
