Tispaquin Pond, Middleboro, MA, 6/2017

We went car camping and fishing this weekend on Tispaquin Pond. During the week the kids helped build a bunk bed to sleep on inside the tent. It barely fit in the tent or the truck. The first night Ariana fell off the bottom bunk and ended up sleeping on the floor. I designed railings into the top bunk only. Sometime early in the morning Alex came back from the bathroom and laid on the ground too, so I wasn't too sure about the bed, but the second night the kids stayed on their bunks and are so fond of the bed that we decided it was a good idea.

2.5 pound bass caught with a rubber worm. It is a fishing site after all.
