DROP THE OAR!

What a fabulous weekend!

Decided it was time to get out all the gear and head up to the lake.   It was  a good choice for a weekend get away…EXACTLY what was needed.

Did some fishing…caught nothing but some sun.

At night I could hear something moving around in the woods and since that something wasn’t carrying a flashlight I knew it had to be an animal.
“Look, can you see the eyes?” I tried to show Lester.
“Nope.”
A couple of nights before we went camping we were running around the school trying to get a picture of a skunk so it wasn’t out of the ordinary that we would go investigate what made the loud sound.
I put the flashlight back out to where I thought I saw the eyes. Lester said, “No, to the left a little. Closer the bush that looks like antlers.”
The bush ended up being an enormous 8 point buck. He wasn’t alone either, with his 8 point buck brother. It was amazing to watch them just chilling out there, somewhat unafraid of us humans.

The second night was relaxing as well.   He started building the bonfire at 11am and kept looking at me for the okay to start it up.  I caved in around 6pm.

In the morning we were like a well trained packing team and got the truck loaded up and back on the road and headed for the nice hot showers at home.
Ten minutes of scrubbing my feet and washing my hair about 3 times did the trick.

Good memories.
