Family Camping at Ruth Lake

On Wednesday July 14, Scott-Jamie-Izze-Mickey, Phil & Sandy, and Katya and I convened at campsite 31 at Ruth Lake Recreation campground for a few days of fun. There was lots of fishing. Katya caught her first, second, and third fish. Mickey and Izze practiced casting and kissed a few fish. We played in camp: hula hoop, wiffle ball, gin rummy, big wheels, bouncing the ball, kayaking, and swimming.
The evenings were cool and the mornings chilly.

Scott's trophy bass-- 20" large mouth bass!
Katya with her 2nd fish and Jamie with a fish on her line too.
Kayaking on the lake we saw osprey and their nests, and a bald eagle.
The nights were fairly bright as we had a almost full moon. The photo below was taken at 10:30pm.
A parting group shot before we headed back to Chico/Paradise in order to attend Dan and Emily's beautiful wedding (in Goodyear's Bar) on Saturday.
Let's do it again next year!!!
