Mother's Day Weekend up north

We're not competing, but I caught the cutest!!!

The loon that appeared beside me as I was contemplating life!!! I have some incredible pictures even though I had the wrong camera!!!!!!!

The true fisherman reeling in his reel after getting back in the boat!!!

Baihley is looking at the water running out of Jim's clothes and laughing!!!!!! Yes, they went in after that, drank hot chocolate and got into dry clothes!!! According to Grandma Maki, the Grummon had never been tipped over before!!! First time for everything. I'm just glad they didn't go all the way over.

We had a great time up north. Jim and Baihley were in the Grummon. Tyler and I were in the Scanoe. We were just anchoring beside Jim and Baihley when the beaver headed off Loon Island. Tyler yelled, "Look at the beaver." I'm not sure Baihley understood the consequences of taking her body weight and doing a 180 in the canoe at the same time her father was casting off. The next thing I knew Jim was going in the water.. correction... Jim was in the water and I didn't have my camera out. Tyler told me to quick pull up the anchor. We were all worried about different things as it turned out. Jim, the wet one, holding on to the side of the canoe was trying to steady the canoe so Baihley didn't go in too! We all somehow forgot that Baihley rides horses and hangs onto all sorts of shifting saddles so she was the least of our problem. I was concerned about Jim; he can't swim. Tyler,,,, the most honest one of the whole bunch was worred about the tackle box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pictures tell the story except for the fact I didn't get one quick enough. Look on Baihley's face; she's hysterically laughing!!!!! And a true fisherman as he is, when Jim got back in the boat the first thing he did was reel in his line (no fish on the end) and then he looked down at how incredibly wet he and Baihley were. The clothes dried out today in time to come home.

Tyler caught the most fish, Jim caught the most water, Baihley got the biggest burn (she was supposed to be watching the fire not playing in it) and I got the best pictures of the loon beside me!!!! Enjoy!!!
