I love the mountains with fresh air and nothing to do but enjoy nature for once. It was from 55-65 degrees during the day and getting down in the 40's at night. I run on a hot temperature as it is, I was in heaven. This is how our trip went. First couple of days it was really windy which made huge white caps on the water so I didn't go out in the boat. I went and took some nature pictures **which gives me ideas for next family pictures Chels....wink wink** Then on to enjoy some good ol' Granddad time which we played a round of golf...not the typical golf. The McMillan Family Golf Game (which apparently is now in stores), Granddad and I were on a team...THE WINNING TEAM! We dominated. :) On to shootin' some guns! I don't like guns...end of story. So I just take videos and pictures while standing by. It doesn't help that this trip since I didn't get to go to Eclipse before I left that I took the book to read.
Fishing! Since last year I have been determined to catch a Mackinaw...ooooh i drool at the thought of catching a huge fish out of that lake. The record there is 42lbs and if you catch anything below that you have to return it to the lake after taking some pictures of it first. Well last year we only went out once...and no Mackinaw. This year we went out once...No Mackinaw!!! The only happy part about it all is that we got a couple hits! So during the day with everyone we decided to go trout fishing. We went across the lake by Mytoge Mountain (a steep mountain on the other side of the lake) Out of no where my dad spots a fawn!! A little baby fawn!!! That thing is on full zoom. I ended up taking a nap since we wake up so early to fish and during my nap they found its TWIN!! I was out cold so no twin pictures :(
Next we took a visit to the Fish Lake Lodge..which I swear its been there for a hundred years. Sat in the awesome rocking chairs as my brother (and picture buddy) for this trip sat next to me. Tried to show how big the Lodge is when you stand on the back deck and my family thinking **she is taking yet another picture** To slow things down we always end up playing a game. Bring on the Pirates Dice! Pirates of the Caribbean has a part in the movie that they are Davie Jones' boat and they are playing a game of dice and wagering years of service. Which Disney.. those fantastic people.. haha. made the game. It is probably one of the funnest games I have played. Date night/family game night/girls night. It works for them all. **HIGHLY recommended** That sums up Fish Lake.
I can't wait to go next year!!
