After a really busy week at work, I am on vacation all week!
I picked up Tim on Sunday and drove north! We met my Dad and Lisa at a cottage near Boulder Junction, WI. (About 5 miles from the U.P.) We got settled in yesterday, and today the motor arrived for the boat. Last night we stuck the pole in the water off of the pier for a little bit and Tim caught his first fish! It was a little bluegill, and later on, he got a bigger fish… a Perch! I think I caught the same when I was little too.
Today we went out in the boat and were pulling fish out of the lake left and right. At one point, all three of us (Dad, Me, Tim) had fish on our hooks! Granted, none were trophy fish, but enough to make dinner for the 4 of us! I got some sunburn too. Later on, after dinner, it was campfire time and some real S’mores! I golf with my dad tomorrow, Wednesday, my uncle from Green Bay is stopping over, and at some point we’ll find some places to swim!
Last week, we won our softball game on Tuesday, we were rained out on Thursday. But I went to Lisa’s house, as she planned a suprise party for her daughter Maddie’s 18th b-day party. Her and her dad got a reggae band to play in their yard! It was pretty cool.
Friday night, it was time for some Milwaukee Metalfest action. This thing gets worse and worse every year. A few bands were great, especially Watch Them Die and Death Angel. Yup, some nice family friendly band names! haha Anyways, after running behind all night, then cutting off bands all night, they still cut the main band off at the end of the evening. AND… the cops came in the middle of the fest and evacuated, because they said there was a small fire upstairs. NICE. There was no danger, and everyone was let back in. Sheesh.
Saturday, I had originally planned on the Metalfest, but it was looking so weak earlier in the week, and especially after the Friday debacle, I let it go, and spent most of the day packing up, then helping a friend move, and then… seeing Mirror Black at the Badger Bowl. Then on Sunday…yeah, vacation started! hehe
I’ll have some Vacation pix up when I get home!
