This past Friday Halle, Miles, and I went camping in Hinton, OK with some friends from our Sunday School class. Those on the trip were:
Andy, Caroline, and Hudson Crum
Richard, Dillon, and Kathrine Wilson
Matt and Jake Pryor
Jeff and Andrew Crain
We arrived just in time for burgers and the roasting of smores, a delicious treat. Kids played and dad set up the tent which went surprisingly smooth. Then bedtime came. Halle and Miles slept well and played well together all night.
In the morning Halle and I woke up around 6:15 and were fishing by 6:30. The fish were biting and we were having a great time. We caught a humongous catfish that we fought for about 5 minutes before it eventually broke the line.
I little bit latter everyone else was up so Richard cooked breakfast and we filled our bellies. Then back to the fishing hole. Halle caught her first fish and did a great job reeling it in. Then a bit latter we caught a catfish that swallowed the hook. As I was trying to get the hook out Halle said, "Dad, the fish is bleeding." I looked down and saw that the guts of the fish were hanging out of its belly. I'm not use to handling fish so I guess I was a bit nervous holding onto the slimy sucker and squeezed him a bit harder than I should have.
After that we went hiking through trails and climbing on rocks. It was a beautiful place. Lunch came soon after and then we headed back home.
