Friday. We just hung out most of the morning. Will and I and the two younger boys took a tour on the lake. We rode over to the bigger lake and drove around. (Ten Mile Lake has 2 lakes, little and big. The only way to get to the bigger side without taking your boat out of the water is to go under the bridge.) It was awesome. The little boys did great. They liked looking over the edge watching the water. Brodie was a little bit tired and ended up falling asleep on the tour. He was nodding off sitting on the bench so I held him and he fell right to sleep! I don't blame him, it was very relaxing.
While on the boat ride Will came up with the idea to rent a pontoon boat for the evening and have all nine of us go out fishing together. Every night we had to divide up who would go fishing and who would stay back at the cabin and this solved that problem. They had the boat available and we got a discounted rate so it worked great. Will and Joel ran into Dalton to get some beverages, I packed some sandwiches and a diaper bag and we were off.
We ended up anchoring in a shady area and enjoyed some wine and cheese. Yes, it was very snobbish and yes it was a good time! The boys, all 5 of them got off the boat and went swimming. After that adventure we drove over to some reeds and did a little fishing. Once again JAKE was the only one to catch anything and of course it was a bass. All 4 of the kids each took a turn at the wheel of the boat. Tony's favorite part was the fish finder. He would tell us when one popped up on the screen.
When we got home that evening we had a fire. The guys succeeded in their mission called Operation Midnight Sun. What is that? Let's just say it involved a whole lot of Sparklers Brodie's plastic boat and some innocent plastic army guys. It deserves a blog of it's own and in Will's own words.
Bass total for the day...
