Winnie 2008

I am happy to report all went well at Winnie. No one lost a tooth, no one got any bruises or scrapes! For this mommy that is a successful outing!

The fishing was great. Simon, his cousins, & his bros caught some really nice sized muskies. The ladies of Winnie caught some nice sized nothern pikes & a walleye. Mari also caught her first fish, a nothern.

Gretta and Mari had fun swimming in the pool & playing w/cousins & friends. Mari always went on many canoe trips w/Grandpa Loren. She absolutely loved helping grandpa paddle.

All of the ladies went for a tea party at Mrs. VanAsterbilt Sweeney's cabin. Mrs. VanderAsertbuilt Sweeney is Great Grandma Johson's (Sandy's mom) dress up name. We all got dressed up in silly dresses, hats, gloves & jewelry and had "tea" and dessert. We were quite the sight but we had a lot of fun!


Well in a nut shell that was our trip. 7 days of fishing, swimming, & family time, w/a sprinkle of ice cream cones, shopping & sleeping.

Looks like a great time! Maybe you should teach Mari to fish rather than Simon - You are the one that caught the biggest! :-)
