Another Glorious Weekend...

Atleast once we got there!! We had made these reservations for Diamond Lake, WAYYYY back in January. AND of course, just our luck, the ONLY Friday baseball game that was scheduled for ALL season was this weekend (atleast it was a home game). So we have our game at 6:00 P.M. and, of course, we are tied at the end of 6 innings and go into extra innings. Well we ended up winning the game, scored the winning run in the bottom of the 7th, so we were now clear to get the hell out of dodge!!

We had to run home, hook up, pick up Drake's friend (Gunner is still in Alaska) and away we went. It was a long ass drive, in the dark. It was a good thing Dylan was awake because he spotted almost every deer about 10-15 seconds before Mark. We get down to Diamond Lake area, the moon is full and well, we don't know where the hell we are going. We managed to miss BOTH places to turn and had to find a place to turn around with the trailer, not easy on that road and in the dark. Needless to say we took the long way to our campground/spot. BUT boy was it worth it. We got to our spot about 12:30 A.M., hucked all the crap out of the trailer, made the beds and went to sleep.

Woke up to a beautiful sunny saturday, this was the view from our campspot.The boys all went out fishing on Saturday and I stayed at camp to "watch" the dogs, read a book, read some magazines, read the whole week's worth of newspapers and worked on my tan....Bye Boys, have fun :DMark and Leslie each caught a 19" pluser and Dylan and Drake each caught 3 fish about 13-15" (sorry not pics, I was not in the boat and they cleaned them before I could take pictures).

After fishing the boys decided they wanted to go swimming, hey, more power to ya boys, have at it, and swimming they did. They played in the water for about 1/2 hour. Of course their lips were blue when they were done!!
Silly Boys!!!

Got up Sunday morning and had a good nutrious breakfast and went out fishing again. We decided Diamond Lake is a saturday fishing lake. Drake caught one, Nick caught 2 he threw back and Mark missed a big one (HEHEHE)

After fishing, the boys wanted to do paddle boats, so we went to the resort and rented them a paddle boat for an hour. I think they had fun and the view was awesome!
Other than the mosquitos, it was a good weekend and I think a good time was had by all. Of course, when just ONE of your cupboards looks like this, how can it be a bad weekend? Diet, What Diet??!!
