2009 Memorial Weekend in Rhinelander, WI


We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend in Rhinelander, WI. This is Busha's childhood home, and she and Gramps now own. Busha's sister Cathy, brother Don and mother Ann stayed the weekend as well. They were amazing hosts, with gobs of wonderful food! No chance of going hungry, even for a raw foodist! They were gracefully sympathetic to all our different dietary needs. Above and beyond guys!



John and I stayed in the room with the air bed. Considering that we need a new mattess in the worst way, this was amazing. I was happy that we tested mattresses a while back, so I wouldn't have eyes for this one. It sure was comfy though.


Izzy and Tori spent every possible moment swimming in the lake. It was kind of chilly. John and Pops (Gramps) put the docks in the water and dug out the canoe and kayak. The girls started off picking up sticks and pinecones so the lawn could be mowed.



The White Family took the canoe out Sunday morning, while everyone was away at Church. "Aunt" Cathy and "Uncle" Don took Izzy and Tori to see Night At The Museum 2 that night. Thanks!


The girls went fishing in a little stream Monday morning. We put the worm on the hook (my first time doing that - I didn't enjoy it.) They dropped it in the stream and immediately we getting hits. It would have been hard NOT to catch a fish. It was an excellent first fishing experience, if I do say so myself. Victoria's pole wouldn't release the line very well, so she had to stand almost in the water, but was the first to catch one. Izzy caught one a minute or so later!
