Boys Night Out

When we girls had our slumber party…the boys camped out at the lake.

My boys (especially the big one) love to fish!

  John goes fishing as much as he possibly can! 

Usually with his friend JP.

Now- don’t get me wrong.  It isn’t ONLY about the fishing.  Boys will be boys.  Mine try to turn every event into something that will require a gun.  This time was no different.

Uncle Jim was there as well.  He taught the boys how to throw out the net and catch the bait.

Ahhhh!  The perfect throw!

And the bait.  The boys were glad I was not there for this part.

I usually go around wiping everyone down with sanitary wipes.

Boys- gotta love ‘em!

I am so glad we have such good friends,and that our kiddos all get along so well!

Now- sometimes you just have to get out in the water.

How far you go out is up to you.

Don’t worry…JP does this all the time. 

Fishing is a great bonding time for the boys.

OK.  If you get easily grossed out.  Skip down a little- and remember…Boys will definitely be boys.

Little minnows are not the only bait used to fish.  The ever popular, most squiggly, very squirmy worm is also used.  Who knows how long these boys played with them.  I am trying not to think about it myself.  But I’m sure they had a good time!

As it was getting dark

It was time to set up the tent.

Put out the sleeping bags…

And of course…

Play a little Xbox!  I know what you are thinking!  Camping was never this good when we were little!  Ahhh, modern progress!

Even though it was dark, they weren’t scared.  They were prepared with lanterns.

The boys ended up coming home at 4 am.  The Texas heat is just too unbearable- even in the wee hours of the morning, next to the water.

They all had such a great time.  They keep asking me when my next slumber party will be.  I’m hoping pretty soon!
