Thursday - at Chrissy's

We have arrived here! Spending the weekend here them back to the farm for our last days. Just 6 days of vacation left...

We picked up planes at Clearwater. While I got a Carmel Apple. I think Robert has influenced them a little. They both chose navy planes!

We headed home today. Thankful for my time in Canada. Hoping that I won't have to miss anymore years. Our drive home was uneventful. Made it to Sarahs in decent time. The kids wasted no time in hitting the outside! Jacob in the pig pen and Jackson side by side with Adam and bird hunting..

Canada day 3

What a great day!!! The weather was beautiful and the day started off great! We headed to 2 birch and wouldn't you know jackson landed a walleye. Then dad hooked a northern!

Next we got tourist. Right away in the slot I caught a nice 18 inch. Then dad nailed another good one that we there back. Then back in a little nook dad landed a 27inch walleye!

With a few nice northern here and there we had a great day of fishing.

A funny for the day:

Trying to get in the boat by grabbing dad's hand I slightly fell in! So I had a wet arm and butt!

Also mom lost her hat.... Grandpa lost his hat....

Jackson broke the coffee pot...

We showed 2 waterfalls to jackson and our old camps. At the high rock someone had made a great cook camp.

We saw bear camp and eclipse camp

Animal count:

3 pelicans

Several loons

Garder snake

Mallard

We went back to burnt island and got a few picture of our loon on her nest.

Jackson highlight if the day:

All the fish I caught today. Saw 3 follows and several others. Grandpa breaking his pole.

Mama: I am blessed. Grateful to be sharing these moments with Jackson on his "right of passage" so to speak...

Canada day 2

We started the day at 6:30 am. Had breakfast and got the boat ready for the day. Slightly chilly. First we went to the creek. No luck...kept fishing... Moved to a new spot... Then another. The another no fish :-( finely at 4ish we headed to double birch. Dad got snagged and as I was realing in... Bam caught a walleye!!! Then put the poles back down... Then got on another walleye. As it was swirling in the water and grandpa was ready to get it... It was gone... Both him and I saw it.. Bummer... We still needed dinner.

Then we kept fishing the hot spot... Dad got a few bites and lost many minnows. We were about ready to head in when bam I had another fish on the line. It was a snake but we would take it. It meant supper!

Did I mention it rained most of the day??? Well it did and jackson was a good sport for most of it. I feel very blessed to be here. My dad made it all possible. He took just us. He didn't have to. But wanted to make sure we could go. Jackson really did amazing for the chilly weather. I half expected him to complain all day. But only at bed. Missing his brother.. LOL

Came home and cooked up the food!!! Drool....

Jackson's best part of the day:

Watching mom get 2 fish. Going speeding bullet. Lunch on the shore. Havin pop and having a brownie! Eating walleye.

Animal sittings:

Flock of pelicans

Loon

Eagle

Loon eggs!!!! Found the nest!

Canada day 1

Left Sarah's at 6 am. Crossed the border at 10:30! So excited to be here. Words can't even describe!

We made it to Rosie's in plenty of time. We set up camp and put the boat in the water! We headed our to ghost bay and realized we were taking in water so we headed back. We pulled the boat out to find out that one of the live wells was open. So we fixed the problem and back in the water again!! Didn't catch much. Ok we catch nothing. So dad felt it was a bad sign. We will see. This is the earliest he has been in here in years. The ice just left over Mothers day weekend. I don't care if I catch one fish. (ok I care) but the fact that I am here after 10 years means more than words can describe. Every year my sisters go it was a sad time for me. Now that its my turn to be back, I couldn't be happier. Life is good.

Jackson's painted Turtle.

Animal count:

Baby painted turtle

2 beavers

Eagle

Bugs

Oh and 4 wood ticks on Jackson!!

Best part of my day is just being here. The beauty is amazing and the time with my son and dad are priceless!

Saturday

Well it was rain rain go away! Come again another day! Poor Jimmy (my borther in law) was rained out. With over 2000 acres he was needing a dry day to get the rest of his crop in... He didn't get that.. Hoping by the time we come back from Canada it drys up for him. But it doesn't look good. So he and dad worked on his boat and all the kids ran and played outside in "wilwerding lake"

Jackson;

Playing in Wilwerding lake and gathering worms. It rained a lot. I like playing on the iPad with Adam doing mine craft

Jacob:

It rained. Getting my wormed name slippery.playing on my moms computer.

Mom: having a low key day!!
