First Wisconsin Camping Trip

Our first Wisconsin camping trip was at a secluded lake called Bloody Lake. (The kids were in awe that it got its name from an indian battle so fierce that the dead bodies turned the water red.) What you do not see in the picture are the thousands of giant frogs, which sounded like a deafening cello/kitchen blender duet all night.


As soon as we got the tents set up, Sylvia was sold on camping. She played zip and unzip, go in and out, of the tent for hours. She was happy to play inside it while the rest of us fished.



Here are the might fisher-people. The following morning, the boys caught a catfish, and what might have been a bass. We cooked them up to supplement our breakfast. Mostly they caught the overhanging branches you can see in the picture.



Sylvia enjoyed her first s'more. - She loved roasting her hot dog and marshmellows in the fire with the big kids.


... and a good time was had by all.
