Christopher was given the title of 'Salamaster,' as he was able to catch the little guys like no other. They really are just so cute!
Looking for crawdads and salamanders. This was Hunter's fist time to try out the water. He is a lab, after all. I think he liked it. He is a good puppy!
Nate getting all crazy with a salamander on his chest.
Chris and Catie fishing at dusk. We sure picked a weekend with beautiful weather. Site #6 wasn't too shabby, either.
The only crawdad that was dumb enough to crawl into our trap. Tuna fish is not a good bait at Trillium Lake. Chris did find another one that he cooked on the fire grill and ate the tail. mmmm
Dinnertime!
This was a trip filled with resourcefulness. Dan was so proud of his Survivor torches that he made out of burlap bags that the firewood came in, and some sap that he dug out of a tree. The boys couldn't wait to light them...and they actually stayed lit!
The lone egg that was left over. Rather than let it roll around in the ice chest, I thought that we would do some inquiry science. What will happen to an egg that sits over the coals? Well.....if you poke at it after it's been heating up it will EXPLODE! Boom! We had egg flying everywhere.
Playing in the lake. Oh, silly cousin Will!
More playing in the lake...
They caught a trout! And I do mean 'they.' Chris and Nate's fishing lines had crossed somehow, so they both reeled in this little guy together. (about 7 inches) We were all about catch and release, so he did not find his fate over our campfire.
Roasting marshmallows. What a fun camping trip!
