Joe's Birthday Adventure!

This year for his birthday, Joe wanted to go fishing and camping at Meade Lake. I took off work and Moe and Judson tagged along! Driving to Meade, it rained on us the whole way, but once we arrived it let up. After about an hour there (by the time we got our camp set up and were ready to get out on the boat) the sun decided to come out! We spent the afternoon on the boat and had a great time! Evening came around and the park ranger was speeding to all the campsites to let everyone know there was a forecast of hail and a tornado heading our way. So we jump in the car and head south, away from the storm, and wait it out. Turns out we only got rain at the camp - no hail or tornado. The guys stayed up late fishing, even caught a bunch of crawdads to use as bait the nest morning - only problem was that the coons got the crawdads sometime in the night!

The next morning it was gray and cloudy out, but it didn't rain, so we kept on fishing, still hoping to catch something. Sure enough - Moe caught something - a turtle. A not so very happy turtle! It took Moe a bit to unhook the turtle cause he kept snapping at him! We finished out our day without catching a single fish (though we kept seeing them jump out of the water the whole time!) - but that doesn't mean we didn't have quite the adventure for Joe's Birthday Fishing Trip!
