Spring Camping

Once again, the Dean family set up the tent for our annual spring 24 hours camping trip...24 hours because that is how long I want to go without running water or electricity. Fishing was the main event of the the trip and ever patient Jason baited hooks, untangled lines, and answered unending questions while the littles got their fill of the sport.

Finally, the waiting was rewarded when Emma caught the first fish of the day. (The next week, when she was doing her oral presentation in class, she explained that while camping she "caught a whopper". The tutor asked what kind of fish it was to which Emma replied, very matter of fact and confidently..."It was a whopper, that's a type of  fish.")

Of course TC had to get in on the glory and he was all too eager to claim that fish. But really, who wouldn't believe the fish tale coming from THAT face!
