Hannah's first trip to Minnesota!!!

This year for vacation we decided to take a trip back to Minnesota. It has been a while since we had driven that far for a fishing trip, but we knew that it would be worth it.  For those of you that don't know my family, we traveled to Minnesota most summers for fishing when I was a kid up till college, so it was like going to our second home. We tried a different resort, but I think we would all agree, that it was a good one.

Hannah had a great time with everyone and she did really good in the boat.  Her main task each time was to have us cast out her Dora pole and she would reel it in or  'wrap it' as she called it. That went on for about 7-8 times, then she would be finished for a while.The pole only ended up in the water once and thank goodness it floats!!! No, she didn't really catch any fish, but that might have been because her hook was on top of the water next to her bobber.  I was almost sure a big one would come and grab her bobber because she was reeling it in so much, but they never did. She liked to get mama's artificial worms and pluck them apart. Of course there was also a lot of snacking while out in the boat.

We also enjoyed a little bit of time in the pool. Hannah is really getting the hang of swimming, but still needs the floaties.  Overall, we had a really good time and the fishing was fabulous.  We all limited out on bluegill and had to eat fish once a day, just so we could keep catching them.  

As you can see, it is very hard to get all of them to look at the camera at  the same time.

Friendly, it was !!!

Dressed up and ready to get in the boat!!

You know you are in Minnesota when you see trees in
the median and can't see the cars coming the other way.

Papa's boat and our boat- which is also Papa's boat but he lets us use it.

The famous loon of the north.

We couldn't go out in the boat without a 'nola bar'.

one bucket of many!!!

In between the excitement, we did manage to get a good nap out of her everyday. 

This was our cabin for the week. Not fancy, but good enough.
