Second Trip to Flynn

August 29-30, Friday-Saturday

After our first trip to Flynn was so great, we didn't wait too long before going again. On Friday, we made it to Flynn with only enough time to set up camp and have dinner. Then we got to bed.

 The next morning, we boiled some water and had oatmeal, something we all love in our family. Ryan was really looking forward to walking around and seeing if there was any chance of him seeing any hogs, and maybe even shooting one. So, he was gone when we woke up, but came back in time for breakfast.

 Mid-morning, Ryan took Jared out on the boat to fish. We had gotten a paddle for it now, so Ryan didn't have to use the shovel. They were having a good time and had already caught quite a few fish. From the shore, Karl and I could see a lot of foot prints in the mud from the different animals that came to the pond for a drink. It was kind of cool.

 Ryan and Jared came over to pick Karl and up, and we all fished for a bit longer. Ryan had found a really good spot, so I caught a fish on my first cast. It was awesome! Ryan caught easily 15 fish or so while we were out there, but we only kept three.

 Back at our camp site, Ryan cleaned the fish and wrapped them. He then left to do some mowing with the tractor, leaving me to start the camp fire. Apparently starting a fire isn't as easy as I thought it was. I was glad when Ryan was back to help get it going.

 Ryan cooked our fish in the coals and they were so good!! Ryan removed the fish from the bones and we ate some of it plain or with lemon pepper, and we also had some on my homemade rolls we had brought. It was really good.

About the time we were enjoying our fish, Brenda and Kerry came. Jared was excited to see them again. Kerry showed Jared again how to whistle with a bullet shell. Jared tried and figured out his own way of doing it by just saying, "Oooo-oooo!" instead of whistling. Karl got to cuddle with Brenda for a while, while they were there. We had a fun visit! :-)
