well today we're doing a little family campout well hey everybody andy here thanks for joining me today and today we are doing some family camping a little different style we're here at paynetown state recreational area on the shores of beautiful lake monroe in south central indiana just doing a little bit of boating some fishing some camping with friends so we've got as you can see through there the pop-up camper all set up and we've got some friends that brought their trailers and tents and all that fun stuff so we're just here along the lake, some of the guys are getting ready getting the life jackets on to get in the water for the day um we had a good bit of rain last night but we're just gonna enjoy some fun hopefully some sun later here this weekend and we'll bring you along so you can see what we're up to this weekend so yeah let's get back out there meet up with the other jet ski first so whoa and they're off the other way all right let's go meet up with the tubers all right let's see if you can throw some morning hey that'll be cool that was sick you got that too yeah so hello oh hey oh gosh it's really picking up well good morning everybody we uh we survived the uh the deluge last night all the rain that we got yesterday and uh woke up to a pretty brisk morning it's uh in the mid 40s i'm getting a little uh dutch oven biscuits going my wife's on the grill getting some eggs and peppers grilled up we've already got coffee made um so kids are inside where it's still warm um it was pretty toasty in there i think for the most part at least definitely compared to outside so the first time we've ever had to run the heater in that thing but uh i'm gonna sit out here have a cup of coffee get those coals uh nice and hot and get some freshly baked uh biscuits to go with breakfast and then today we're supposed to be out on the lake again um with pontoon boat uh with the ski boat again and um a couple of jet skis so we'll be doing a little about a little bit of that today i'm also looking at maybe today or tomorrow um getting a canoe because i am taking the kids up to boundary waters in a little over a week and i want to get them just a little bit more proficient in the canoe go through again some of the basics and talk about different scenarios that hopefully we don't have to deal with but just in case we do you know they know what to do so i'm gonna go work on breakfast i will check back in later is hi buddy let me know later okay get back to me on that pretty quiet out on the water for memorial day weekend it is a little chilly thinking about it mike yeah it's like 60 degrees outside and now we're swimming but the water is uh okay i guess not at all no you have to go in one more time oh my god all right caitlin you got to get it on camera let's see it michael is it better michael michael is it better are you sure good luck mike we're all counting on you the slide's cold that's not a good sign should i put it in slow motion for you probably one to ten michael's feel the bucket again michael feel the batteries i felt the [ __ ] water it's freezing like it's not like extremely hot but it's nice you don't have to get in like get out immediately or sit down get out and you'll be cold and then get back okay can you please feel warmer you ever go because i'm really cold because you'll be really cold fine come on because you're like six feet almost yourself it's not wet enough now you don't have any hesitation though mike all right we're at uh lake monroe we're on the boat it's uh pretty chilly today after the rains went through it's uh 56 degrees it says i think the water's a good bit warmer than the air is right now so everybody's in off the boat swimming in there's a nice uh slide and they're all heading over to the shore uh this is actually the scout reservation for boy scouts uh camp ransburg is right there so that's the aquatic center where the boat launches just on the other side of that rock uh jetty and then the main camp is is up the hill and around so it's pretty calm back here tucked in out of the wind it was a little windy going into the wind completely fine going with the wind but it's it's definitely chilly so i mean i've even got the rain jacket on just to kind of block the wind as we were boating but i'm i'm plenty warm now so we're just gonna enjoy a little bit of this and if it warms up later in the day we may get uh the jet skis out and um do some tubing or we might just wait until tomorrow for that stuff it might just be a little too chilly for that see daisy swimming out they're throwing the ball out for her to get she's been begging to go in the water the whole time we've been here like seven o'clock scavenger hunt that was the first one and this is the second one that we made and we already put it over there everybody else right now is sitting down by the fire or is down by the lake right silas it's burned your marshmallow time but your brother michael because he's well good morning we're uh finishing some breakfast today the goal is to get out on the water as you can possibly see there's hardly a cloud in the sky it's definitely warmed up today it's supposed to be around 70 degrees it's sunday morning when we go camping as a group we want to eat well so we've had bacon and eggs and sausage and i got the dutch ovens out again so i've made uh the double batch of cinnamon rolls again and uh some hot biscuits so those are over on the table um you know when when i do backpacking it's all about you know lightweight and convenient and i still eat well but when we do these kind of events man we pull out all the stops you know we've had people making steaks to burgers and hot dogs to you name it so just about having a good time with some good friends and then uh we'll clean up here shortly it is gosh i don't even know what time it is bear with me a second it is almost 10 o'clock so we're gonna get cleaned up uh we've already got the boat it's parked off the little cove back down here below so get everybody cleaned up uh get their suits on and uh get down on the water and spend a day out with the pontoon boat and the slide and some jet skis and just have a good time so i'll check back in a little bit later probably when we're we're out on the boat the first two vessels are away we're trying to break free of the shore oh it's floating away with us come sail away come sail away just go just go just go dad just go oh we found a little spot to uh pull along uh pull up the shore so people can get off and you know walk around take the dog for a walk uh this will kind of be home base so a ski boat will come in and switch out people jet skis you know we're right along the edge of the uh no wake zone so it's real easy to get out onto the bigger part of the lake but this little party cove that usually is pretty popular you know there's always activity boats you know pulling in and just hanging out for the day we were in here last year and there was a big houseboat that you can rent down around uh at one of the big resorts so this will be our our home base for uh probably a good chunk of the day oh so the practice all right here we go all right let's see if this works that's pretty cool i don't know why you're doing it some water on the camera i don't want it too warm so i don't know what you're doing but of course you are wow there's a warm spot here what is that i wonder all right i think we uh we've had our fun in the sun we are on our spot all day we've got a few still out on the jet skis on the water we've got less than probably about 20 minutes left we're starting to pack up here on the shore and uh getting ready to head back towards the docks so we can turn the pontoon back in and uh we'll probably head back to camp uh start thinking about dinner so had a great time so much warmer today um the water was a little chilly um but once you were in it a little while it wasn't too bad so had a good time i'm gonna go help out finish cleaning up throw a couple cans away and call it a day and then we'll uh we'll start heading back all right we are all loaded up um got the site torn down this morning had a great time having some good fun with family and friends and we're going to be heading on the road shortly thanks so much for watching
