New Poles

Weekends are seriously the best. Maybe being apart 3 nights a week helps me appreciate family time more, but hopefully when we are all together full time again I continue to enjoy it so. Jer ended up staying an extra night in 'the Point' this week as he had a huge deadline that he met (& did really well with!). Lucky for us, its a long weekend so it won't be so bad. We kept saying to one another today, "it really feels like Friday today." (He generally is off Fridays.)

After a few furniture rearrangements around the house and a trip to a sporting store, we all set out on a bike ride over to Mother's Lake. Jer & Owen tried out their new fishing poles, but the fish there proved to be a bit trickier than those at Nokomis. Jer landed 3 and Owen got skunked. He had quite a few bites but the fish somehow managed to get away with the worm every time.

We stopped by SuperTarget on the way home for a few groceries and barely fit them all in the burley. Thankfully, Jer got me a new bike in Steven's Point this week so he got to tow the extra ~70 lbs around today! Biking suddenly has become a breeze for me. Jer said his legs were feeling a bit like Jello when we got home.

Owen picked out a small watermelon at the grocery and was anxious to have some after dinner. He read a story recently in one of his magazines about watermelon seed spitting so he was ready to give it a try. He pretty much was just spitting out chunks of watermelon. The squirrels will enjoy that tonight.
