We all had such a great time this year at Paulina. It rained, and thundered and was windy and we loved it! It cleared up enough from time to time to go out in fairly nice weather, so that was good. It was so fun to see the boys really into it this year. Especially John. He went out the first time for 6 hours! I was so surprised and besides lots of verbal curiosity (which many fisherman will tell you can decrease your chance of dinner), he was a natural. During the less than dry trips out, Pat, Eli and I stayed in and chatted next to the warm fire and had a wonderful time enjoying the great "outdoors". What a gift to have this weekend to look forward to each summer! Thank you Dick and Pat! We are already talking about next year!
praying for a dry run
Eli catching up on some reading by the fire
They got one one on the first trip out!
Eli was ready to go this morning!
I think the fish made a last effort at escape right in Eli's face
He had his own pole give to him by our neighbor Dick across the street 
Both the boys liked going to the "fish cleaning hut" with daddy and papa:)
dinner!
Three Generations!
The big thunder started right as we started our hike..it was a quick one!
