Once we made it to the campground at Cub River, we spent some time getting the tent and camp area all set up. The kids spent the next four days fishing and hiking. Each of the kids got their own fishing pole. They soon became self-proclaimed fishing experts. Sydney actually caught two fish with very little help...she was so excited. Cameron caught a few, one of which he was able to cast and reel in all by himself. Derek and Conner both caught several fish. While they were there, cousins Kaden and Preston taught them how to clean and gut the fish. Then showed our boys how to cook them. They all ate several fish.
As if all the fish weren't enough, the kids also caught a water snake and a chipmunk which they also barbecued and ate. They even tried to trap a skunk that kept sneaking into our camp at night. Thank goodness nobody got sprayed!
Inside the tent we set up port a cribs for both Austin and Alexa. It was a short walk to any running water, so getting the kids hands and faces washed, along with brushing teeth was always a chore.
