Up North 2008

We had to settle for a long weekend getaway in Minnesota this year instead of a full week. But we made the most of the time we had. Fishing, napping, reading, and of course, playing with Jonas were the highlights of the weekend. While the fishing wasn't all that great (for the second year in a row) it was nice to get away for a few days of peace and quiet. Jonas was our entertainment and the center of attention the entire trip. More about him in a different post though.

The weather cooperated nicely all except for a little rain on the last day. It was sunny with temperatures in the 50's at night and 70's during the day. Evidently it had gotten much cooler earlier this month since the leaves had already started to change. They weren't in full swing just yet, but it won't be long now.

Fish were caught: Miranda of course had the most impressive fishing outing of the trip. She caught the only walleye of the trip on her first cast then caught a nice northern about three casts later...the woman could be a fishing guide.
Chipmunks were fed: (and provided some humerous entertainment in the form of fur ball chipmunk fights for the sunflower seeds).
Wildlife was seen: deer, turkeys, bald eagles, a golden eagle, loons, raccoons, red squirrels and other various animals were seen over the weekend.
Till next year.
