Dodger2 Report post Posted June 11, 2006 Just thought I would share my son's first camping, fishing trip with everyone. We went to the White Mountains for 3 days to break in the new pop-up trailer and to expose the boy to the great outdoors. We had a great time and when it came time to leave he said that he didn't want to go home. I thought for sure that he would be asking for Mommy after one day. We were able to catch his first fish...a 14" brookie at Crescent Lake And enjoy some awesome sunsets...even though the storm that brought these clouds brought lightning with it that actually nocked me to the floor of the trailer and left my left side tingling for about 3 hours . Way too close, but the kid just asked me what happened... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dodger2 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 I had been dreaming about that day since the day he was born. He is already asking to go back and now wants to move to the mountains. I guess the next thing to do is drag him along with me scouting and hunting. Hopefully he'll get as excited about that. My daughter just turned 1 last week, so she is next. KGaines, looks like you and the kids had fun. I remember catching some huge cats out of there when I was going to school up there. I think the next trip with my son we'll keep a few and cook 'em up so he can get the full experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted June 13, 2006 Great pics guys! I'm taking my three on an annual camping trip up into Utah late next week. We meet-up with an old college buddy and his family each year, and the kids always REALLY look forward to it. I just got a new digital camera (my first... finally broke down and bought one...), so hopefully I'll get a few decent pictures. Thanks for posting! S.
