Labor Day Weekend

Labor day means a trip up to the cabin for the long weekend. We got some great fishing in...the boys caught mako sharks and great whites. Who knew you could find those in the lake!

We brought our bikes up for the weekend also. Jamison has finally embraced riding his bike and has become the fastest bike rider in the west!
Uncle Tim had the best idea....add a tow rope on the bike to "help" out when needed. It sure saves the back.Peter still really likes his old bike better, the european style Kettler with no pedals. Not sure why, maybe he can go faster on that one. But..when you go faster you have a better chance of causing more damage when you crash. Just ask his knee and elbow!After the bike ride...we needed to take a relax in Gma/Gpa hot tub. We are sure happy they got that! Who says you have to labor on Labor Day.
This weekend was also all about FROGS! momma's favorite animal!. Peter caught a couple toadies..but learned the hard way that they do not like jars for an extended period of time. While the boys were napping momma caught a bucket of mink frogs and a leopard frog. AND to top that off, Gpa has a friend hanging out on the LPtank...a Grey Tree Frog! WOW that is a lot of frogs.
GGma Ruth and GAunt Marcie and Sue sent the boys some Smoky the Bear hats. Jamison liked his....and lets just pretend that Peter is saying "only you can stop forest fires". With the boys past history I would think Peter would have LOVED this hat..not so much.
The hat worked well when riding our favorite horse, Bridgestone! WHOA Horsie!
