Camping at Beaver Dam

Weekend before last we went camping on the river below Beaver Dam for the weekend. We met up with some of Jason's family. His Mom and Dad were there as well as Aunt Cathy, Uncle Guy and Uncle Roger. Uncle Elliot and Jennifer also joined us for the day on Saturday.

My husband and kids have a thing for feeding the coons. This was right outside the camper door, he came right up under the awning and started eating off of the dinner plate they had left for him.
Watching him eat got boring, so Jason took the reel off of Braden's fishing pole, and tied the line around some food and they lured him right below the window in the kids' room in the camper. Rhett and Gracie fell asleep, but I have no idea how late Jason and Braden stayed up toying with this racoon. I went to bed before they did!

Sunday morning, Jason and the boys went down to the river and enjoyed Cathy and Guy's kayak's while everyone else fished. This is Braden in the yellow kayak. (That's Cathy fishing in the water to the left of Braden in the white shirt.)
Daddy and Rhettster
Braden really loved the kayak. He came home and was researching how much money he'd have to save up to buy one for himself. ;)
A beautiful smile on a beautiful day!

After the kayaking and fishing, we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's site to cook and eat breakfast. The boys were riding bikes while we were cooking. Next thing I know...
poor Rhett bites the dust.
He got some pretty gnarly road rash.
These pics are from 2 days after the crash. He limped around for a few days, but he is so tough. He NEVER cried. Seriously, he is the toughest kid I know.
