Camping in the White Mountains

The day after Race's birthday we left to go camping with my family up in the White Mountains. The campgrounds were beautiful and the lake was just a 10 minute walk away. The kids all had a great time. We tried crawdad fishing for the first time and all the kids loved it. Even the teenagers! I wish I had pictures of the kids fishing, but I let Rylie take pictures the day before and my batteries died right before we got to the lake! To crawdad fish we took a stick with some fishing line and a hook and added a piece of hotdog. Then we just threw the line in the lake, right along the shore, and the crawdad just came out from under the rocks and started eating on it. Then all we had to do was pull them out into a net. Rylie was the fishing champ with 37 crawdads. She even had the largest. Although we were grateful to get out of the heat it was pretty cold up there. We're not used to 50 degrees at night. Thank goodness for campfires. We all had such a great time we're planning on doing it every summer!!
