Labor Day Weekend at the Cabin
Well, we finally all made it up to the cabin. First time all summer so it was nice to have the chance to go up and relax for a while. Wayne went up Friday afternoon before us to mow and do some work around the cabin. The kids and I headed up Saturday morning (had to stay home and watch high school football game -Elyse couldn't miss it) It wasn't the "hot" Labor Day weekend we were counting on, but the weather was fine and kids had a super time. The Lentz family joined us, which was fun. If you know the Lentz family, you know that Chris is a huge fisherman so that is basically what he did most of the weekend. Alex was his "fishing buddy" and we didn't see them for hours, unless we were driving around on the jet skiis and came across them. They caught quite a few bass, some northerns, and croppies. Chris shared his "secret bait" with Alex so Alex was way excited. You can see that our dogs, Vinnie and Norah, anxiously waited for someone fishing off the dock to catch something. Vinnie just goes crazy when someone pulls in a fish. Funny!
The weekend was spent on the water, tubing, jet skiing, knee boarding, and boating. Brenda, Chris's wife, loved our jet ski so much she thinks she needs one as a "new toy". Sat with the neighbors one evening to catch up and celebrate their anniversary with them. Of course, Brenda and I had to take the girls to Mankato to the mall for a while-not long though as we had to stop at Gander Mountain for more "secret bait" before it closed. Priorities. :)
Anyway, it was a nice, relaxing weekend that was very much needed. Until next time....which will probably be a year from now. Let's hope not.
