Camping and Fishing

Hi everyone. Colleen and I went camping yesterday for the night just the two of us. It was pretty cool. I fished a lot, and Colleen mostly hung out and took about 130 pictures of herself. That's typical when she's bored. Like Ben discovered with panning for gold, I discovered with fly fishing. Trying to copy it from the movies isn't always the best. It was fun trying though. I switched to my other rod and caught a small brown trout, which is all I caught. After I released it, I waded back out into the water and cast in again, then felt something bump my leg. I looked down and there was a water snake that looked about 3 feet long that bumped into my right leg then swam between my legs and then bumped in to my other leg. It was pretty cool. After that I looked across the way and say a whole bunch of otters. I ran back to our camp and grabbed the camera. When I first saw them they were on the shore on the other side of the river, when I finally got back with the camera they were all in the water right near our camp. I got a couple of good photos. Then we sat around the campfire after dinner and played with the camera. All in all it was a pretty good time.
