Camping!

Well the Saint family took their first camping trip this last weekend. I am happy to report it was a success! We went up Friday morning and spent the whole day doing some fishing and setting up camp. Saturday was spent fishing, hiking, riding four wheelers and eating lots of good camping food. Plus a little alcohol consumption for the adults. We camped with some friends of ours who had friends and family of theirs there, plus more of Stephen's co-workers, so camp was fun and hectic! There were about 15 kids, 8 dogs and a million BUGS.




Unfortunately, while trying to remember all the food, clothes, cooking supplies, fishing supplies and everything else under the sun I forgot my camera. But we are going up again later next week, so I will get pics of our HUGE new tent (love it!) and the amount of crap it takes for 6 people to camp for two days.


Mary and Stephen caught two really big trout (especially for creek fishing) on Saturday. Both of them were very proud of themselves! Especially Mary, who really did catch it all by herself, because her mother didn't believe she was actually reeling in a "HUGE ONE MOM!" She didn't actually end up reeling,(she just kept backing up until the fish was out of the water) because she was too busy trying not to drop her little Micky Mouse fishing pole and promptly fell right on her butt when she got the fish up the bank. It was a classic moment :) Gabe caught two decent sized trout, and we all caught lots of tiny ones. The next time we go up, we will have lots of trout to eat! Sophie and Sara didn't fish much but they did enjoy annoying the people who were trying to fish by being loud giggling girls. I didn't fish much either, I was too busy keeping track of kids, baiting hooks and taking hooks out of fish.

We got pics of the fish as soon as we got home though!
Check back next week, we are going to have a very busy week ahead. Stephen's dad is coming, a trip to Worland for the Saint side of the family then off to Ten Sleep for his moms side of the family only to come back home and get ready to go camp some more! I am sure I will have lots to post about!
