Bennett Spring, Mo

We discussed up until the last minute where we should go camping this weekend.  We knew we didn't want to go far.  We knew we wanted some fishing and biking involved.  And we knew we wanted to go south- but not too far since we couldn't leave till later on Friday afternoon.  We decided on Bennett Springs on Thursday night at 9:30pm.

We landed the best camping spot!  We only had one person close to us so the kids could ride their bikes to their hearts desire.  And it was absolutely beautiful.


Happy campers.  And bikers.

We played a lot of UNO.  Pretty sure Jackson was the weekend champion.  Addison preferred to "referee".

Yummy grilled califlower!  There were only crumbs left!  LOVE my good eaters!

FIRE!

More biking

This picture does NOTHING for the actual beauty!


Trout Fishing.  The most serene and peaceful and beautiful and frustrating fishing ever!  Water is crystal clear so you can see TONS of large fish.  But these fish are PICKY EATERS!

This is a spring where 100,000,000 gallons of water come up RIGHT HERE (where this pic is) a DAY! UNBELIEVABLE!  It's Mo's third largest spring.

Jackson gave it everything he had...

And in the last 10 minutes of fishing cause we only had 1 hour till we had to check out he caught one!  I was literally walking over to him to let him know we had to go soon!


He deserved this one!  He had had 2 other fish on his line that got away.  No one else in the family had any such luck.



Proud fisherman!
