Camping - Mommy Style


We went up to Mille Lacs Lake camping this weekend.

S. and I went fishing on the Lake - for Walleye. It was a total failure, I'm beginning to think I'm cursed, I haven't caught a decent fish is ages. We went with the open launch at 7pm from Anglers Paradise in Isle. The weather was fair to poor - one guy got one, but it was 20" (in the slot) so we had to throw it back. Leeches, Yum!

Used our newest toy - See above. A family from from Cubs came as well - they had invited N. to come with their son a month ago. So we camped around the corner - It was very nice. It drives nice as well. We have a couple of minor things to figure out still, but we'll schedule another dry run - and it will be ready for the ride to Ct.

Camp is coming


We're running Cub camp in Zimmerman, at the Sherbourne National Wildlife refuge. 172 Cubs in a three day camp, there is no waterfront so we doubled up Scout Skills and added a Bouldering wall.

The Camper is still being prepped. It suffered hail damage prior to my purchasing it - so their insurance is repairing it first.

School is over - Everyone did ok. S. is in a building kick, a catapult and stilts in the last week - and we got the tractor back and it runs - so he give rides to the others around the yard.

C. took them all out today to a going out of business sale at a Red Hat store - Good news for Grandma...And it had penny candy like the Canaltown Emporium in Ellenville.
