Another Fun Filled Camping Trip!

So I'm finally posting about last weekend. And I'll include pictures. It was a pretty fun weekend. All of Mike's family his immediate, 2 uncles and their families and his grandma go to Otter Creek every year for Father's Day weekend to camp. So Mike and I decided to go this year with them since we have this bigger trailer. We got off work early and left for Otter Creek about 3 PM I think. Most of his family was already up there so they directed us on which spot was ours and we set up. Everybody was just lingering, some had gone fishing in their boats. Mike and his little brother Willy took his raft and set up some crawdad traps on the west side shoreline just past the boat dock. Mike was having so much fun in his raft. I haven't ever seen him use it in the 5 years we've been together even though we have gone camping and fishing many times.
Saturday morning Mike talked me into going with him to check the traps ( I have a fear of deep water... I don't swim well) Anyway it was really fun I wasn't even scared (unlike the last time Mike took me in a little fisherman's boat and I mean very short but quite long almost like a canoe.... Anyway the boat barely had probably 6 inches before it was water and Mike, his friend and his friend's girlfriend were rocking the boat so badly. It was making me so mad cause they only did it for me. Brooke didn't like it much either. So needless to say I was a little worried) Anyway I went out on the raft a few times and we had bought Brooke a life jacket just for that reason so she went with us a few times too and loved it. Heck I thought she was going to go into the lake head first a few times. She loves to play in the water unless its a swimming pool or where she can't touch the bottom. She is so funny though to watch. We barely were able to keep her away from the water long enough to eat. But Mike's little cousins are amazing! They love to play with her and let her follow them and take her with wherever they go. And they keep a really good eye on her. I just love them! I don't have to worry about Brooke as much when she's with them.
Mike's family caught quite a few fish on their boats. Mike only fished once and didn't get anything, didn't like the wind blowing so much. I sunburned the crap out of my legs. Some people think I gave myself a 3rd degree burn. (I didn't put sunscreen on them cause I dont' usually burn on my legs... they don't do anything but stay as white!! I had pants on but rolled them up to go in the raft. Boy I won't ever not put sunscreen on again!!!
It was a nice relaxing weekend! Some played in the water, went boating, fishing, walks, games, and good food!!!




Kelsie, Brooke, and Shelby all playing in the water!!

Mike and his little brother Willy going out to check on the traps or to take them out.

Mike's nephew Nate with Mike working on making yet another crawdad trap.

Mike's other nephew Tyler. He had so much fun on Brooke's little 4-wheeler, he would run it 'til it the battery died!!


Brooke was so excited to have Angies, Jessie, and Heather (mike's cousins) there too. She made them all go on walks with her, they took her in their raft. But they love her to death so it was fun for them too!

Brooke was so tired Sunday it wasn't too long after we lef the RV park she fell asleep and slept the whole way home!!!

So i decided I would put this on. This is a picture of my sunburned legs. This is after they've had a few days to work on healing...
