Adventures in Camping 2007

We just returned home from a week long cottage vacation at Coles Point outside of Campbellford. 11 of us shared the adventure...our family, along with Ken and Pam Grant from Cobourg.

We had days of sun, fishing, boating and seadooing. The kids (and adults) had a great time.

Weather was fantastic with no rain and the nights were cool enough for sleeping. A few souls got pretty bad sunburns (pictures to follow).

Fish caught....bass, perch, sunfish, mudcats, a huge crabby, rock bass (too many to count)...and golbies. For those not sure of golbies, they are pest "fish" that feed off of eggs of other fish. Therefore, the fish population is decreasing. It is law that you have to kill the golbies if they are caught.

Pat gets fishing license and boating license for the trip....Ed made sure that happened. Pat also hooks her own bait....finally! Next step is how to get the fish off the hooks. Pat also has tubing adventures and puts her knee out of joint. Still...it was worth it.

For those familiar with the game of boot, the kids all learned and were eager to play (with pennies) on their own. Many times they started their own games when the adults were out.

Thats all for now.
