Happy 4th!

Hi everyone, hope you had all had a good 4th of July.

We had a nice long weekend. Jody and the boys went out to Prior lake and spend the night at Jen's great Aunt/Uncle's cabin on the 3rd. Then they spent the whole day out there on the 4th. Plenty of barbecueing, fun and family hanging around time.

Warner and Will tried their hand at fishing on the 3rd. Both boys caught a few Sunnies using night crawlers and bobbers. Later, Warner started fishing with a lure and caught a nice large mouth bass. That pretty muched hooked him on fishing. He spent the rest of the day trying to catch another one. (He even passed up a chance to go out on the boat for a trip around the lake)
Will had some fun and caught two small sunnies that he put in a bucket and wanted to bring home as pets. After Jen and Ella showed up, he agreed to let them back into the lake.

Jen and Ella came out in the afternoon on the 4th and we all hung out. Ella ran all over the place and especially liked playing at the water's edge. Luckily she didn't want to swim too much as one of us would have had to go in with her and I don't think either of us wanted to. :-D

Like it's always been, it was a great time and the fireworks were awesome. Uncle Tom came up from Iowa with the family and proceeded to put on "a helluva feed" for the group. True to his fashion, the eats included deep fried turkey (super moist), home made onion rings, chips, deep fried breaded mushrooms & burgers and brats, plus a table full of snacks.
Oh yeah, can't forget the coolers and coolers full of beer and soda. Or as these minnesotans call it...pop.

All in all, it was nice weekend. Pretty relaxing and tough to get back to work on the 5th. I forgot to bring a camera, but some pics were taken. If I can get copies, I'll upload them later.

Ok, I've got to go. Talk to you later.
