Vacation!

I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post. My family is just getting back in the saddle from a little vacation to Maple Trails Resort near Walker, MN. I won an ebay auction for a weeks stay on the Boy River. We all like to fish so we decided to make a week of it (almost)!

We took off on Sunday following our worship service. We had a friend keep our yellow lab, Dodger while we were away. It took about three hours to get to the resort. We were not exactly tickled pink with the accomodations. The bathrooms were icky, but they did flush. The windows did not all open, and they were far from mosquito proof. The rooms were very small and dark. Not exactly the Hilton, if you know what I mean.

We were able to do a lot of fishing. We caught a lot of small perch and northerns. I did catch a 16 inch walleye, but the fishing was nothing to brag about either. Also, there was no good place to store our bait as their doick area was extremely small, and there was lots of gas and oil in the water from the boats. The shiners died very easily.

We had planned to come home on Wednesday for church, and then to head back out on Thursday. We all decided we had enough comeWednesday morning. We just packed up, squared away our bill, and hit the road! Seeing that I got the trip as a deal on ebay, we felt we did not lose too much in the deal.

We did all take the rest of the week off, so it was a pretty good week of rest!
