Back from vacation...
Last Saturday... K worked with the tramp. I will share my feelings on this one later.
Sunday was the start of his vacation. We packed up the Jeep, and headed for Kentucky. We went to Green-Bo lake. Its a state park boasting a camp site, fishing (along with boat rentals), nature trails, a swimming pool, playgrounds, a lodge with a nice restaraunt, and a small mini golf course.
We arrived at the camp site a little later then we had planned, this isn't unusual for us. We made good time setting up our tent and our camp site, and went off to fish. I caught the first of many blue gils.. That seems to be all I can catch for some reason. I took turns with my pole, then the girls hooking the blue gil, and then letting them reel them in as if they had caught them. We named our fishies before setting them free, we had a george, salty, pepper and I even named the small feisty fish I caught, Pip Squeak! lol The bass in the lake were taunting me. We watched time and time again as they jumped out of the water and right back in. I saw several LARGE ones swimming near the edge of some sort of water plants, but alas I was unable to trick them into biting my worm lol. I did manage to lose a bobber and some hooks getting snagged in those weedy plants. Oh yea and caught a small turtle but he manged to get off my hook just as he cleared the water. The only thing K caught was a buzz, oh and a rather impressive man's size large glove!! (which he reeled in from the bottom of the lake) lol.
We spent 3 nights at the camp grounds, went swimming and fishing, didn't take in the nature trails we didnt have the right shoes. (Thank God, honestly I didn't want to climb the steep hils and such.) We took in nature saw a mama deer and her Two fawns young enough they still had their cute little dots adorning their backs.
It rained and stormed almost daily while we were there, especailly at night. Surprisingly our tent did us well and stayed pretty dry! We camped along the side of a creek. My girls played in the creek everyday. I think they enjoyed that more then anything!! Of course we did smores, cooked out nightly and roasted weinies over the fire. I bought them jiffy pop and popped it over the fire too. They had a good time!!
We returned home Weds, and got to bed early. Thursday, was circus day at the fair!! Friday we went to the fair again! The girls rode the rides, and K won them so many toys and stuffed animals that they have been busy playing with those for the past 2 days. So we all had a busy and entertaining week! Getting away from home and the walls, that all to often threatened to swallow me did me good. I enjoyed the time away with my little family!!
