WST at Casini Ranch

This weekend was the 2nd annual Woodlands swim team camping adventure at Casini Ranch, northwest about 90 miles on the Russian River.  

Blake caught a fish.  In all, three fish were caught.  I think it was one fish being caught three times.  

Big group of fishermen on the first day

Parker finally realized that fishing is a lot of waiting and not a lot of action

Got some cool shots with the drone.  JP and I are in front of the first pop-up

Group shot with the drone.  Nice setup!

On Sunday morning Blake, Parker and I went fishing.  Well, I drove TRX-4 and flew the drone while they fished.  We saw a seal and a blue heron!  

 The kids had a good time.  I got to know some families that I didn't know previously.  It was colder than I expected.  Okay, bye.
