Fishing with the Fam

We just got back from our annual fishing trip with the family and boy did we have a good time. We were gone for 4 days. My in-laws reserved a double spot, plenty of room for all the grandkids to run around, and for the adults to have enough space to spread out. Thursday night we got ready by setting up camp. We just bought a new 8 man tent with 2 rooms. This was large enough for us to have a little space and set up a bedroom and a have a card table and chairs in the other room. Every day we were there we saw deer. These deer would venture into the our camp, and get close enough for us to see the details on their faces. On Saturday the kids made friends with a chipmunk. This chipmunk would get really close, then run the other way. It was looking or food so the kids started giving him whole peanuts in the shell. He would then stash the nuts and come back for more. This whole cat and mouse game went on for about an hour. The kids loved it. We also had flocks of hummingbirds. The camp host had multiple hummingbird feeders up and invited us to come over and see them all. I think we ended up counting at least 5 different types of hummingbirds. We also fished just about every day we were there. I ended up catching 3. I always feel sorry for them when I fish.. I have this guilt complex. When we got home tonight we ended up eating them for dinner. It was really good. They were all rainbow trout. We tried to catch our first mackinaw but we had no luck. We were told it was the wrong season. Better luck next time. Im exhausted and need some rest. Until tomorrow..
