Going Home

When the sun came up Thursday morning we were glad we had stuck it out because it was blue skies and gorgeous. A line was hung and things were put out to dry. After breakfast Grandpa took the kids fishing and it was fun to watch Ethan cast. He is pretty good. He didn't catch anything but a few rocks. Grandpa even helped Courtney reel in the line. We could see fish swimming in the water and jumping but none of them wanted to bite.

We cleaned up camp, Grandpa bagged the fish they had caught on Tuesday so we could take them home and we started back home. It was a good hike. Ethan was a champ with his backpack and Courtney walked on her own the entire 2 miles back to the cars. They are such troopers!

We then drove into town and Grandpa treated us to ice cream. On the way home we even saw a moose and a fox. What a great trip!

The kids loved it and Ethan says that he wants to go again. I'm glad they liked it because I wasn't so sure when we started out. We do have to buy some more gear because we didn't have rain stuff sufficient for us all....or pjs for Ethan....or socks for Courtney...but we had a great time!
