Weekend at the river

We'll I was hoping to have updated pictures of the house progress, but we are at a stand still for a few weeks while the workers finish up other projects. Here's some pictures of our weekend at the river. We borrowed my parents motor home for two nights at the river. I don't camp in a tent, must have a bathroom. Ya I roughed it, no Internet for a few days. Ha Ha!

Took the kids on a 4 wheeler ride & this turtle was in the road and Alexis just had to take it back to camp. She put it in a crate and called it her pet. Other kids in camp decided the turtle didn't look that good after a few hours, so they let it go. She wasn't happy, but dad found her a baby snapping turtle later. Guess I didn't get a photo quick enough cause Nolen stomped on it and it didn't last long.

Nolen driving Stella around camp. Glad we took the truck & charger as well.

Around 50 fish were caught on bank poles. This was the most they had caught at once. Alexis wanted to hold this fish up for a photo.

This fish had to come back still attached to the line because it swallowed the hook.

Since we were just a few miles from the drive in at Newton, we decided to take the kids to see Shrek 4. It was fun to get out of camp for a while.

Two black snakes made their way through camp. Pete decided to get up & close with this one.


Sand toys a must! Nolen playing & getting dirty. I'm very thankful for the tub in the motor home cause both kids got very dirty. Alexis slept on the top bunk in the motor home & fell out of bed the second night. She didn't get hurt or have one bruise from her fall. I think a bag of clothes on the floor broke her fall. She was very lucky. Oh ya did I mention we had air conditioning. I just love camping! LOL
