Emily and Brett's Family: Camping at Mayfield Lake

Last week Brett and I went camping with my parents and my siblings. There were a total of 9 adults, 3 kids, and 2 babies. When we got there the weather was not the best, the first night it rained and it rained most of the next day. However, there were plenty of trees at the campsite and we stayed pretty dry. The best part about the rain was that the burn ban was lifted in the middle of the second day so we were allowed to have a campfire that night. We finally got to enjoy some delicious campfire food, burgers and dogs!

The second day we were there we took a trip out on Brian's boat. The adult kids went first. We had a fishing lesson and ended up catching 5 fish. Jill was a luck box and caught 4 fish, Brett caught one, and Andrew and I just tangled our lines the whole time. But it was really fun to be out on the boat. The kids went next and they came back with 1 fish that Aly caught.

Jill was probably the funniest person to go fishing with. Apparently we didn't really think about what goes in to catching a fish. Jill was sitting backward on the boat and decided to nonchalantly reel in her fish backward. When the fish was in the boat Brian gave her a mallet to bop the fish on the head with and actually kill it, Jill held the mallet like a beating stick and looked like she was going to bash in its head. It was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen.

Anyway, we all had a wonderful time out in the woods with no worries. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.
