Vacation recap

Every day started with a spin in the hot tub
And progressed with a daily trip to play mini golf
One day we had a visit by Grandma and Grandpa
Another day we played fooseball at Alexanders,
while we waited for the glorious pizza to be ready
Each day, Harry watched over the property, ensuring no passing kayakers would attempt to board our dock.
while C-man and Beerman watched the birds and watched for the "rimples" made by surfacing fish.
C-man even eyed a turtle on a canoe trip.
He also caught some fish at the fishing jamboree. (With the help of Musky Matt, in this picture he's in the process of releasing this whopper) 
He even won a trophy. (Nevermind he was the only kid who showed up! He WON A TROPHY!)  And then he got put on the radio later that night with Musky Matt, the guide who runs the jamboree. (It's uploaded HERE, 8/29- Hour 1, minutes 47-52) After, he was talking about all the things he "should have said!" including a home-grown joke.  But the new fishing hat, fishing pole and minnow net made it all better.
We had a great time at the go-kart track.
And I, of course, took too many photos while in the canoe that you'll be subjected to in the coming days.
C-man learned how to shoot the BB gun Great-Grandpa Arnold gave him for his baptism. (Seriously, you can't make that stuff up)
And it was great, great fun. (I'd like to point out that shot in the middle of the X. You know, the one shot by yours truly.)
Beerman built a huge fire every night by which I made too many s'mores.
And we all watched the night sky make its appearance with its beautiful stars. (And even Mars)
Now it's back to reality, and C-man's first day of school. It was great while it lasted.

Never, ever any such thing as too many pictures. You are so going to treasure those shots of your son when he gets older and embarrassed to have his picture taken! Love that shot of him with the little fishie. And your bull's eye!!! (way to go!!!)
