Recently, At the Lake

The Klopf family, along with Vicki's college friend, Katie from Calgary, Canada, visited us at the lake recently. ("Katie from Calgary, Canada"--has a nice ring to it, don't you think?) Thanks to Gail for sharing her photos with me, several of which I use below. Evidently, Vicki and Katie were in some kind of mood while on their way to the lake.

Kathie's mom spent all of our July stay at the lake with us. Here she is with Gail and cousin Sandy, who stopped by for a visit.

Kathie put Greg to work splitting wood for an evening fire.

Meanwhile, the girls decided to take up fishing. Here is one of Vicki's first catches.

Greg and the girls took a ride up the river in one of our canoes.

Later, Kathie took everyone out for a boat ride,

including more serious fishing time. There is a good-sized Northern in that net.

Gail got a pretty nice shot of a Bald Eagle.

Here are the three fish that the girls brought home. All of them and a couple of others that Kathie and I had previously caught made up that evening's dinner.

Some time was spent in the hot tub. Here are Mom and her girls.

Later, I took the girls out for another fishing trip. Vicki caught a decent-sized bass.

Katie caught quite a large bluegill.
