Memorial Weekend

We are to the end of the nice long Memorial Weekend. David and I were lucky to get a 4 day weekend. Sure has been a nice fun filled weekend.

Friday morning we went out fishing with dad. Unfortunately we got skunked. Not one fish made it to the boat. Dad and I both had something but never saw it.

Saturday David and I loaded up our bikes and took them to Hinckley for a day of biking on the Munger Trail. The trail goes all the way from Hinckley to Duluth, which is about 80 some miles. We did about 8 miles Saturday. We went 4 miles out and then the 4 miles back. Next time we hope to make it to Sandstone which would be about a 16 mile round trip. It was a nice day for it. We both have sun burns to prove it. The wind was our only obsticle.

This is a catepillar that David saved. He was saving them as we went. Didn't want to see the poor little guys squished by bikes. I think he saved 3 all together. Now they can turn into pretty butterflies!!

The rest of the weekend we have been doing some shore fishing. Not nearly as fun as being in the boat. But luckily for me, I broke my losing streak. Finally...the first time in over a year, I caught a fish. It was a little sunfish....nothing fancy. But hey, I'm one up on last year.

Hope everyone had a fabulous and safe weekend!!

Spring Is Finally Here

It's about time that Spring arrived. Finally the nice weather to be outside. These past couple of weeks have been really busy. We have been helping a friend accomplish some tasks to their house that they have been working on.
Yesterday was by far the best day that we have enjoyed in a long time. We took the canoe out and went for a ride. David was completely terrified at first. Since that was only the second time that he's been in a canoe. He couldn't remember how it all worked. I sat in the back just laughing almost the entire time. What really freaked him out was the rapids. It was pretty funny. But now he is excited to go back out and do it all again.
There are more spring activities happening this weekend that we are excited for. Have to fill you in later though.

Excuse Me

Excuse Me Mother Nature....but I think you have the wrong season!!!

I just took this picture a few minutes ago. It just started snowing like crazy here about 2 hours ago. We are almost to the middle of April. We are not supposed to be having blizzards. We are supposed to get over a foot of snow!! No Way!! When it was winter I wanted snow but now that it is Spring....I would appreciate some Spring weather. What happened to April showers brings May flowers??? There is no part in that saying that says anything about SNOW.

We are supposed to be enjoying days like this. Be able to go to the lake and relax. Not shoveling off the sidewalks and driveways!

So I am officially saying it....mark this down....NO MORE SNOW.....until next winter, then it can come visit again. So Mother Nature....could you please fix the seasons and bring us spring weather instead of winter??

BACK TO SCHOOL

So long Spring Break....Hello Spring Quarter. So another break come and gone. We started our Spring Quarter this week. Once again we have all 3 classes the same. So nice to know someone in the class. Also, always have some one around that can help with the homework. We are still going to St. Cloud on Monday nights. Only 9 more classes over there and then the rest will be online.

Lately I have been dreaming about being done with school. Things job wise have not been going the greatest lately hence the dreaming. But by this time next year the dream will be a lot closer...in fact it will be in reach!!

So we have been having serious talks about the future and where it will bring us. Right now...it is looking north! But time will tell.

But for now....it is time to hit the books! Study, Study, Study....
