It's that time again. Be sure to see what the other kids are showing off this week!
Once again, I have a camping related S&T post. Ari and I went camping on Burton Island, off the VT coast of Lake Champlain this past weekend. We had an amazing time with lots of firsts: first time camping w/o a tent (we slept under a lean-to with just a mosquito net to cover us), first time camping on an island, first time catching fish- then cleaning and eating them! On to the pics.
This is looking out on Lake Champlain. The weather held up for the most part- rain at night, but hot and sunny during the day.
A nice view of the docks at Burton Island.
Our very sacrilicious marshmallow roasting. It rained the first night, and we REALLY wanted campfire marshmallows, so we roasted them over the tea lights we brought as Shabbos candles... and it totally worked.
We caught three fish! From the top: Sunfish (I cast, but Ari reeled in), Smallmouth Bass (I caught), Yellow Perch (Ari caught). We cleaned and ate them and they were delicious. It was important we catch dinner b/c I forgot to pack Saturday night's dinner in the cooler!
A perfect end to our weekend: driving home, we saw a kickass thunderhead form a beautiful rainbow :)

That sounds like a fabulous trip. Congrats on catching the fish.
fish that are caught and cooked out of necessity are always so much tastier than any others! It looks like you had fun.
Sounds like you had a great time! I love the smores picture!
Sounds like such a fun trip! I've never done camping without a tent, but I think I want to try.
Looks like an awesome trip. Loved the photos!

PS: love the title of your blog!
Looks like an amazing trip! And so authentic - you really did have to find your own dinner! Those fish must have tasted delish.
What beautiful pictures. I want to go there right now! Nice looking fish, too :)
