Camping/Turkey Hunting - April 29th

Well, we had our first camping trip of the year. It was so nice. No one out here was crazy enough to go with us, so we ventured out by ourselves. We went up north about 15 miles from here, across the Iowa border. It was BEAUTIFUL. There wasn't anyone else tenting it at the campground (again, no one was crazy). But it was so pleasant, we couldn't have asked for better weather and camping conditions. Isabel loved being outside and pointed at every bird she saw. She loves the outdoors and always gets happy when we go outside. We did some dutch oven cooking which was so yummy. Some of our friends came up for dinner, because they couldn't get off work to stay the night. It was nice to have company and hang out around the fire.
David finally got his turkey. He had such a fun time and got a really big Tom. We sent it to the taxidermist. I know, I know, but he will only get one stuffed his whole life, and this one was so big, he didn't think he could beat the size. He does so much for me, that it is the least I can do because it makes him so happy.
We had so much fun and can't wait to go camping again. But this time we aren't taking "no" for an answer from our friends, so you all better get your camping gear ready. We need to go before the humidity out here hits 100%!
