Camping Fun

If you were to see Leon and I today we may appear to look like ripe tomatoes. Our weekend started out wet, with heavy rain. We had decided to go camping at Brooke's Lake near Jackson with Leon's friend Brian and his family. We made it up some super muddy roads in Leon's little mustang and arrived at the campground to find more rain. We decided to sleep in his friends camper that night instead of pitch our tent. It was a full house with six adults and 4 HUGE labs. The next day however we woke up to sunshine and blue clouds. We packed up our fishing gear and headed out hiking to Upper Brooke's Lake. On our hike we saw a real bear which I thought was pretty exciting! The boys fished during the day while I lazied around and read. When it was almost time to go I decided I better cast my fishing pole in the water a few times. I caught 4 fish almost in a row! (Leon and I both caught six fish each during the weekend. I usually am lucky to catch one!) I wondered if it was the same fish biting over and over but they seemed to change size and I moved spots on the lake. Our hike back down the mountain was pretty uneventful. That evening we enjoyed a hearty meal and smores of coarse. The next day we woke up with sunburned faces. It didn't seem to be that warm...we wore coats but the sun must have been tricking us.
