stickyfeathers: fishing opener 2008.

there really is no way to post all the pictures i love from this trip, but i'll share a few (or more). like i had said, we had a great time. thursday night, tucker had stayed up there with us (and uncle corey and jess too). he LOVED throwing rocks in the lake, walking down the trails, and looking for birds (grouse). here is a shot of him with his 'faavrite' rock.

on friday after we dropped tucker off, the rest of the gang started to arrive. i think friday night was the craziest night. lots of drinking and dancing and picture taking. well, tina took all the pictures that could be used as blackmail and i left my good camera safe in it's case in the camper. :) however, before the party got crazy, i got a few fun shots. one of all the girls (except jen) and one of my brother (with me and house in his reflection - ha)!

saturday - opening day. first, we had to have breakfast. i had a bloody mary. hahaha! i had to post a picture of our 'breakfast table'. classic. after we 'ate' we went fishing. i shared a shot of our site i took off the boat. nine mile has awesome lakeside campsites! oh, and i got to use my brand new pole! between all of us, we had four boats on the lake. do you see that teal boat? that's my brother and sister-in-law's boat. i think he was referring to it as the teal hornet or something all weekend. oh, and he had to put his flag out while they attempted to catch some fish - but i don't think that was helping tina out any. it looks like it was attacking her. corey, my bil, caught the biggest catch all weekend - a 3.25 pound, 21.5 inch walleye. jess got a smaller walleye and the rest of us only caught northerns.

then, on saturday night everyone was pretty mellow. it got a bit cooler and was sprinkling out. the girls went to go find wood for the fire and found some sweet logs (which we found out later did not burn well at all). here, tina is holding our big catch. hahaha! then we deep fried a turkey for dinner and even had a few smores! we all sat around the campfire telling stories about sasquatch and ghosts, pregnancy, the good old days, and discussing who had the best facial hair in the group (it was obviously rastus). oh, and of course the boone's was on hand for the weekend as well.
