Vacation has been absolutely incredible. The weather is perfect and events of the past week so far have proved that we're never too old to experience new things. Some of my "firsts" are:
-- seeing five loons swimming on the lake together in front of our cabin
-- watching a big turtle climb up on the deck at the back of a boat to sun himself
-- taking a ride on dad's new sailboat....awesome! Love it.
-- finding out I really do know how to sail a boat, despite the doubts of all my years
-- witnessing the look on dad's face as my daughter cast his new rod and reel into the lake after he'd just taught her how to use it.... the only thing he forgot to tell her was "to hold onto the rod"...
-- fileting first pair of fishes, thanks to the idea of sons who want to eat what they catch
We'll see what the rest of the week brings us.
