Mammoth Camping - Day 2

Hannah woke up at some point in the night crying her ankle or her foot hurt. She apparently got it twisted up in her sleeping bag. But besides that, she slept the night through and woke eager to start the day. Both my girls are early risers (by 6:30), so they had to wait a while for their cousins, who normally sleep past 8, to wake up. Eventually they got up and the girls shared breakfast together, knowing they needed food for energy and all the playing they had to do.Late morning, we all headed to one of the nearby lakes for the girls to go fishing. It was on our last camping trip two years ago that Hannah caught her very first fish. She'd been practicing with her little pole and was ready to try casting into some water. And man, did she do a great job at casting! Both the girls loved fishing that Steven and I said we should take them to Fairmont Park and let them fish in that lake just for fun. <After fishing and a picnic lunch at the lakeside, we headed back to camp. It was an afternoon of relaxation and game playing. Oh and for Hannah, being out in the middle of God's creation, she still managed to watch a video on Gramma's iPod, and some time for practicing her casting. Dinner came and went, with no visit from the bear. After dinner, I took the girls on a little walk around the outskirts of our campsite. We came across of pile of poop, which was just dog poop, but I told them it was bear poop. So for this picture, which I know is blurry, I made them say "Bear Poop!". LOL. Every Friday night at the campground, they have some sort of program around the campfire. Shortly before 8, we headed to the outdoor amphitheater and enjoyed the music and songs of Fiddlin Pete. Hannah got a little creeped out when he sang 'Ghost-Riders in the Sky'. LOL. Bedtime came and it didn't take long for Hannah to fall asleep. All that playing and clean air will do a person in.
