Weekend Camping

We needed a serious break last weekend, so we took of Friday around 11:30 for a quick weekend of camping, COOL fresh air and of course fishing. We headed up to a section of the Black River which was about 4 hours away with about 2 hours of it on bumpy dirt roads. We even had to drive through the river a few times to get to our sport.


Carter did great, but was excited to get out and explore. It was so beautiful, green, cool and remote. It did not even feel like we were in AZ. We quickly set up camp and then hit the river. While Nate fished Carter and I tagged along and threw rocks in the river and discovered lots of crazy bugs.



We really kept it simple and grabbed Subway on the way in for dinner and boiled water for instant oatmeal for breakfast. We did not want anything to stress over. Carter is addicted with moomoo's (movies), so we brought our laptop fully charged and put in a movie to watch and hopefully fall asleep too. Carter was tired, but not tired enough to stop watching the movie. We finally turned it off and all snuggled under the stars in our tent. Carter slept great and didn't even wake up when Nate snuck out of the tent to go fishing.



We put carter in our backpack and hiked down river to explore and fish. Carter found an old fishing pole and had so much fun pretending he was fishing like daddy. Nate caught some pretty big fish, but his monster got away from him. I have a feeling Nate will be going back to that spot to try again. We had a great weekend and hope to go back soon.






Nate got a great underwater camera for his birthday and we tried it out. It is so cool to see the fish in their environment and and get some great shots.
