Sorry for the delay in our part 2 recap. After a great time at the Oregon coast, we headed back to Seattle for the night and then headed out to Maggie Lake for the 4th of July weekend. Ryan, Stacey and Haas were in town so we had a great time hanging out, fishing, golfing and swimming. When we got there in the afternoon, the kids immediately headed for the lake with uncle. We also headed out in the boat and caught a couple trout during the evening bite. In fact Ryan caught the first trout on powerbait...everything else has been on the fly. On day 2, Ryan and I headed out to Trophy Lake for golf. The crew met us for lunch and then we "had" to squeeze in some fishing :-) I think I mentioned before that I really really like this Golf/Fishing experience. Here is the picture (thanks to Maddie - who also netted it for me) of the Hog that I landed. For you fly-fisherman, this was on a 4wt rod, with a dry fly!!!
Friday was also the 4th and we enjoyed an awesome fireworks show on the lake. The "show" went on for probably 2 hours with some pretty sizable fireworks. It was almost like being at the Space Needle...ok, maybe not.
On Saturday, the Jensen crew headed up for the day. Upon arrival Ben and Lauren were all over the fishing. We caught probably 40 perch...it was a blast. We then battled the rain, yes, Rain on the 4th, and headed to Tahuya Days parade. After Burgers, Hot Dogs, Ice Cream bars and a cool little parade we headed back to the lake. Luckily the rain had stopped and the kids wanted to go swimming again. The cousins really enjoyed playing together.
Sunday we just kinda hung out...we head back later to avoid the ferry lines. This concluded our vacation. We did a lot and had a ton of fun. Now, we are ready for summer to start!!
