This weekend we went on our first camping trip of the year. A little late in the year, but its the first time we really had the time. It was also Rylee's first time camping. We got to camp about 6:00 PM and set up camp. Rylee and Kade had alot of fun running around and playing.
Once camp was set up we went road hunting since it is the bow hunt right now and Jeremy has a deer tag. We saw one two point buck and a few does. We went back to camp to cook dinner and Rylee did not like the dark campground. She was really nervous. Once we got the lanterns lit and the campfire going, she was ok. We roasted hot dogs and hobo dinners on the fire. So good! After dinner we let Kade shoot his new bow that we had gotten him. He thought it was pretty cool because it was his size and he could shoot it no problem. I almost think Jer was having more fun with it though. After shooting for a bit, it was off to bed.
We got up early the next morning for more hunting, but had no luck. It was still nice to be driving and seeing the mountains. Its so pretty up there. We went back to camp and let the kids play. Kade practiced his shooting more. Then we noticed a storm coming in so we hurried and packed up to head home. On the way down the mountain, Kade was watching out the window for deer and next thing we knew he was out cold hanging out the window. It was so cute. Great end to a fun weekend!

Fishing!
Today we went fishing and was Rylees first time going. We bought her a princess fishing pole and she loved it. If you touched she would tell you no and say mine! It was cute. The fishing was good. Jer put his pole in the water and by the time he turned around to get another pole ready, he had a fish. We showed it to Rylee but she backed away and didnt want to touch it.
The rest of the day was fun. Rylee caught a couple fish. Kade caught a couple fish. Jer caught a couple fish. And for me, i caught alot of fish! :) Probably about 10 or 12 but i let alot go cuz they were little. Between all of us there fishing, we brought home 8 good sized trout. We are gonna have a fish fry with Jeremys side of the family later this week to enjoy our catch, but ill probably will be eating steak or chicken. :) Out of the 8 we brought home, only 2 of them were not from me, Jer and the kids.
We all had a lot of fun as you can tell by Rylee's dirty face and Kade's smiles! Hope we can do it again soon!

Kade goes to Kindergarten
Today was Kades first day of school. I cant believe he is old enough for school! He was very excited when he woke up this morning. He got up at 7:00 am and asked if it was time to go. I laughed and said not for a couple hours.
Finally it was time to get ready to go, I got choked up and called Jeremy while Kade was in the bathroom. It was a lot harder than i thought it was gonna be! Jer told me it would be ok.
Kade was getting more excited until about 5 minutes before he left and he got really quiet. I asked if he was ok and he got teary eyed and said he was nervous and he was going to miss me. I smiled and told him i would miss him too but it was only for a couple hours and he was going to have so much fun learning and making new friends. That seemed to help because he was out the door and to the car before i could get out the door. He was all smiles from then on. When it was time for him to go into class he said goodbye and didn't look back. I went to the car and called Jer and cried again.
When i picked him up about 3 hours later, he was all smiles and said he had so much fun at school and he was very excited to go back tomorrow. Guess that is a good sign. I hope he keeps up the excitement throughout the school year.
