Another Great fishing Trip

We were able to go back up to the Red Cedar Lake and do some fishing. We have our own personal Guide named Larry and Denise. My parents came along too for the day. It was great to see them again and they allowed us to stay up at their cabin. We caught a lot of fish, but for some reason we didn't take a final picture of the fish! We did catch a bunch that we had to throw back. Elliott mostly liked playing with the leaches. Anytime someone needed a leach, Elliott was their man. He did also manage to pull in a few blue gills and learn how to reel them in.                       

Here are the leaches that kept Elliott busy the whole fishing trip. He took this picture himself, along with some of the others.

Here is one of the fish that we caught. Its not a great picture, and the fish looks like its eating Elliott's ear!

Elliott is Below here and it looks like it didn't load properly, but we had him wrapped up like a burrito when it got dark. He was getting cold.

Summer Kayak/Canoe Trip

We decided to go on a Canoe trip from the Chippewa dam to Lake Hallie. This trip took about 2 1/2 hours, so not that long. We did stop at a half way point and have some lunch by the River. The day was great and we saw a lot of wildlife and found a lot of cool rocks! I think if you asked Elliott the rock picking was his favorite part. Our boat was about 30 lbs heavier when we got home! Uncle Jared and Auntie Tricia also came along with us and took most of the pictures.

Happy 4th of July

This year the 4th of July was definitely a rainy one. That was just fine, because we had lots of great food to eat down at Grandma and Grandpa Johnson's House.  Elliott helped me make this great fruit pizza that day. All the berries that we used were handed picked by us that day. It was a lot of fun and hope to make this again sometime.
