Birthday Weekend Eve

The Big 3-5 for Mike is tomorrow, so we spent the labor day weekend over at the Maggie Lake Cabin. We headed over on Saturday AM..we were the last car on the ferry after picking up Cafe Ladro and Original Bakery. We decided to take the scenic drive into Belfair and go the Cabin around Noon. The weather wasnt the greatest, but we made do. Josie immediately headed for the lake, while Maddie and KK got on their bikes. On Sunday, Nana and Papa J headed over. Weather was kind of iffy, but not before we got a lemonade stand all setup. By the end of the Day, the girls racked in 9.50 from passers by. Kinda cool, they had the Maggie Lake Tri-athalon...a swim across the lake, a bike ride, and a walk twice around the lake...Ironically we were just thinking about something like this a couple weeks ago...when it was 90 and we were in the lake all day!



So, I thought it would be cool to get my Dad up to Trophy Lake for his birthday (9/5) so that he could catch some of those nice trout. He, Bruce and I headed up and go there about noon. We fished for about 3 hours through sun, rain, thunder and very picky fish!! Finally, as we were about to pack it in, Dad finally got into a lunker...actually we had a double. I had just hooked a fish and it was stripping line off my reel like crazy, when he yelled "I got one too!" Unfortunately, right when he got the fish in and was ready for the picture, the fish flopped out of his hands, and flopped another time right back into the lake. I was able to keep the grip on mine and we got this picture of the two of us together. Anyway, good times!




oh...here is another one that I caught as well :-)


Thanks to Steph, the Girls, Bruce, Sheryl, Mom and Dad for a great birthday weekend!!!
