Opening Day April 24, 2010!

All those going fishing slept on the living room floor last night, as is custom. Daddy woke them up at 5:45am and everyone eagerly got up and dressed. Warmly. It was not a friendly morning. It was dumping buckets and temps in the low 40s. I sat in bed worrying about them staying warm, especially Jessie and G-pa in the canoe. At least the boat has a tarp. IMG_0050

Daddy took Jake, Dan and Em in the boat. They were wet, cold and happy as a could be.  Danny baked 163 chocolate chip cookies last night(I told him that was overkill) and had them labeled on the counter for the morning

“Fishing Cookies!!!!!!!”

They left early to come warm up by the woodstove but not without catching 20 beautiful trout between them. Jacob limited out with 5, Dan  3, G-pa 4, Jess 2, Em 2 and Daddy 4.
