Camping on Lake Buchanan

Nothing like some good bacon on a camping trip!

Proud of his 1st catch of the day!  This was a funny story...Daddy casted his line out and then ran up to the motor home to get weights and Landon told me , "I think I got one!"  I thought he was just wanted to reel in the line for fun but I went ahead and told him to reel it in and check.  He was right...this fish was on the hook! 

"Check out my sun perch!"

and another one...fishing was good :)

Beautiful Sunset

View from our campsite...beautiful!

Landon enjoyed climbing on the BIG rocks!

Daddy and his fishing buddy :)

Biggest catch of the weekend...see the bend in the pole!  Landon was really hoping to keep this fish so Daddy could grill it for our supper but we convinced him to throw it back! 

Landon's version of wade fishing!  He was such a patient fisherman...Daddy would help him get the line out far and then he would sit down and wait for the bobber to disappear.  As soon as he had a bite he would hurry up and stand up and reel in the fish.  Daddy would take the hook out and Landon found great pleasure in throwing the fish back in the water. 

View from my lawn chair...perfect!

The boys chillin' after a long, fun day!

Ended the evening with s'mores...yummy!

Landon loves the outdoors and is obsessed with fishing so we decided to go camping some place that had a lake...we ended up at Lake Buchanan and had the BEST family weekend!  My parents let us use their motorhome so we did not have to rough it in a tent which was nice.  Landon was over-the-top excited about riding in the motor home to get to our destination!  We booked a site on the water right by the boat ramp which was good because that was HUGE entertainment for Landon just watching the people launch their boats and go fishing; and then he was just as excited when they returned and he got to check out and tell them what kind of fish they caught!  Being by the boat ramp was also bad because Landon woke up before daylight each day so afraid he was going to miss something. I could not believe how many die hard fisherman get on the lake before dawn  - we were required to watch each one starting about 5:30am!  We had an overall GREAT experience and plan to go again soon...good thing we live in Texas where it is pretty much good camping weather even in the winter!
