Wisconsin

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I just got back from a vacation to Wisconsin!! it was so much fun I was there with  my best friend peter and his family. We have known each other since third grade actually funny he was in my brothers class and my brother invited him over I was down by the crick in the backyard fishing Pete came down there we fished all day that was that lol! Anyways we are very close I call them my second family. When I flew into Madison airport they picked me up we went home packed the car and drove what should be a little over two hours but instead because of all the flooding they have it took us 3 1/2 hours! We finally made it to tomahawk were peters uncle leo has a cabin on lake Mohawksin. Sadly my camera died on the second day but I’m getting pictures from Ripp’s so I will post those when I get them. We had so much fun all we did the entire time was fish that’s it. well one day in the morning we went mini golfing and go-karting I tied for first in mini golf but got spun out in go-karting. The girls for the most part stayed at the cabin and did there scrap booking. Lindsay would come fishing with us quite a bit but Mary and Bridget stayed at the cabin. Well we caught lots of fish and goofed around a ton went swimming had fish fry’s except for that one morning we never left the lake. One day we are fishing for northern wit devil spinners (which work great and we killed the northern caught over 40) first cast of the day and Mark casts and his line tangles in the tip of his new rod and reel over the boat it goes and sinks to the bottom. Well we don’t know the bottom in this area and its about 15 feet deep so we don’t want to go swimming for it! So at lunch time the water has warmed up we head back to the spot were we lost the rod and we drag our devil spinners very slowly across the bottom and on the third pass we hook his rod as we are reeling it up it gets out of the water I’m reaching down to grab it and it drops back into the water well from out of nowhere Pete who was driving comes shooting pasts me dives in and grabs it shirt pants with his phone and wallet in his pocket all soaked but we got the pole back. (his phone did end up breaking) well after an amazing week we had to head back which meant another traffic jam. It was Bridget’s graduation party so we had to get that ready it was a lot of fun except it rained off and on the entire day we didn’t let it bother us we played pool horseshoes hillbilly golf (Pete and I were the champions) It was great i left the morning after graduation but I had an amazing time and i cant wait to go back for thanksgiving!p6160343.JPGp6160345.JPGp6170348.JPGp6160346.JPGp6170347.JPG
