Life at the Lake

We are truly blessed to live in "The Land of 10,000 Lakes" and that my in-laws have a cabin on one of those lakes. Yay, for us. We left on Friday and didn't get back until late Tues night. We could have stayed longer but we needed to get back to reality. We had such a great time with family. We fished, swam, tubed, had campfires,played cards, went for boat and canoe rides and of course, just hung out.

We made shaving cream pies.

Our dog, Isabelle, is always in the water.

Just had to put this picture in. D couldn't wait to get his clothes on. Fishing is too important.

He did catch a fish. Many fish actually. He would fish all day if he could.

All my boys.

Memorial Day 09

We took our annual trip to the lake for Memorial Day weekend. We had a great time. Our poor A had to stay home because she had to work. ISH. I missed her so much that my heart actually hurt. Really, honestly, I had chest pains every time I thought about her.

Gram, Gramps, Matt, Jodie, Je, Jo, R, Ryan, N, and myself were the ones who were made it to the lake. Kirk and Yoko couldn't make it. The weather was awesome. N and Je fished like crazy and ended up catching a bunch of sunnies, which Ryan and Matt ended up cleaning. Gramps had to give them a booster lesson since it has been a few years since they both cleaned sunnies. The next day we had the fish for lunch. Yum!.

D, Ryan and I took a paddle boat ride and saw more wildlife than we ever do. We passed a Mama Loon who was getting upset with us because her nest must have been close. She basically stood on the water. Then we saw a beaver swimming, two blue herons, trumpeter swans flying north, some ducks flying and we were lucky enough to even have a stink duck right in the boat with us. Ugh D.
