We spent a week visiting my Uncle Jerry and Aunt Kathrine at Lake Okoboji.  The boys had a blast tubing behind the boat, swimming off the dock, learning how to fish, and playing lots of board games.  They also thought it was pretty cool to sleep on cots on the porch of the “little house”, the cottage behind the “big house”.  They were getting lots of attention from all my aunts and uncles being the only kids here.

The boys caught fishing fever.  My Uncle J. gave Chris a tutorial on cleaning fish.  Boy, Chris does not enjoy that job at all!  Too slimy.  But, there’s nothing better than eating the catch of the day!

Within walking distance from the house, was a bald eagle’s nest right on the lake’s edge.  There were a pair of bald eagles and a “baby”.  The baby was also as big as it’s parents, but not white on top yet.

Thumbs up

Go faster!

Getting good at casting!

Two fish!

Fishing fever!
