Camping in Midway


Hey there family and friends. Last weekend Noah and I went camping with Jen's family, it was fun. We haven't been able to go camping in a couple of years, although I don't know how it was actually considered camping being that we spent the night in a trailer. I took Noah fishing on Friday night, but got skunked...I was impressed that Noah sat patiently for a good 45 minutes. Everyone else seemed to be pulling trout from the pond, but they for whatever reason didn't want our worm. Saturday
morning I woke up early without Noah and pulled my limit from the pond in less than an hour. It was awesome, the fishing God's finally took the lid off my ten year dry spell.

We also broke down and bought a 2008 Trailblazer, we love it. Jen and I had seriously considered buying one last fall, so I felt somewhat justified. I can just picture her riding in the passenger's seat with a big smile on her face. Life is going pretty good, we're trying to settle into what we can expect to be the norm. Thanks again to all the friends, for you love and kindness...you mean the world to us. We wouldn't know how to approach our challenges without your prayers and support.

Nice ride! Do you remember the time we blended up a fish you caught head first in your blender and then had Travis drink it? I still remember how fast the tail flapped back and forth as it got devoured by the blades. Speaking of Travis, he just found me on facebook...as did you! :)

For clarification to those who might read this...the fish was already dead. Thankfully for him. :)

We will have to find a time and place to go fishing again as a family. I'm glad you enjoyed the fishing trip and the new Trailblazer looks great!

Very nice car! We have talked about getting one of those ourselves! Hope you had decent weather for camping...it has been too wet down here! Happy Father's Day!

Sounds like a great time. Nice car! We looked at getting one also awhile ago, but opted for the Explorer. (Not my choice!)
