Summer camping adventures

So as promised, I'm following up with a quick summary of our camping adventure last weekend.  Our dog went camping with us for the first time, which proved to be pretty entertaining.  We camped at Sibley state park for most of the trip and enjoyed some fishing and hiking.  Canoeing is our water vehicle of choice, thus the dog went in the canoe fishing with us.  He actually did really well, probably because he's 10 years old and pretty mellow.  The very first stretch of paddling was challenging because he kept moving from one side to the other and sticking his face in the water, but eventually he calmed down and laid in the middle of the canoe. The fishing was great! We caught largemouth bass, sunfish, bluegills, northern pike, catfish and one walleye!  That's a pretty impressive mix for one trip. We did lots of bird watching, delicious cooking over the campfire and some fabulous hiking.  Overall, I it was a wonderful camping trip and I definitely recommend Sibley state park!  And camping with the dog is pretty fun too :)
