A Camping We Will Go

A couple of weeks ago, we brought Trace on his first camping trip. We joined a few friends of ours to hang out for the weekend in Flint Creek, Mississippi. It was a cool campground with a couple of huge lakes, geese, ducks, walking/bike trails and no fish.

Yep, the dry streak continued for The Ring fishing group. This marks three camping trips now where we haven't really caught any fish. This time, all of us except Kenny didn't even get a bite. And Kenny's fish was a whopper, as you'll see in a second.

Despite the lack of fish, the trip was great. Trace got to play with his friends Jack, Addy and Joe the whole time. They especially enjoyed feeding bread to the geese and the nature walk.

Highlights of the trip included sitting around the campfire and making smores, a fierce battle of Trivial Pursuit '90s edition (Congratulations to the Rush family for taking down the Ringos), everyone breaking their diets and devouring a king-sized king cake in one day and just being able to spend the weekend with some great people.

Here are a few pictures from the trip:
