Our first morning bat the lake was perfect. Patrick went fishing early as Ruby and I slept in. We had a family Father's Day breakfast in Alison & Will's cabin. We gave Joe his present, a Captain America t-shirt.
He looks great! After breakfast we had some friends over -- Joanne Volenec, Jay Graham, and Scott Graham -- to play Yatzee. It was a fun game!
After a leisurely morning in the cabin, we took Ruby with us on a quest to find a canoe rental on the Pine River. (It was incredibly windy. Not good weather for fishing.) We found one that was pet friendly only 15min away. Horina Canoe Rentals was the cheapest option, $40, and the owner was the most friendly. One of the businesses that we inquired about told us "9 out of 10 dogs don't come back" and yet another said "dogs don't enjoy" canoeing. Obviously those folks have never met Ruby!!! We were glad to find one that was both pet friendly and affordable.
Dinner was a Father's Day feast!!! I got a chance to call my dad and wish him a happy Father's Day while I made the asperagus and corn-on-the-cob. Alison cooked some awesome steaks (in the pouring rain I should add) and Gail contributed some French fries to the meal. It was difficult to save room for dessert, Jones' ice cream and chocolate cake!
After dinner Ruby and I went back to the cabin to read and relax. We did go out to check out this large snapping turtle. We think she was up on the bank laying her eggs.
Mollyann thought she looked like a dinosaur. I agree with her!
Patrick and Joe took the boat out for some evening fishing and then jitterbugging. No fish for Patrick, but he enjoyed the clear calm night.
