A DAY WITH LITTLE RAIN!

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE! AND WE ARE OFF AND WALKING. YES JAKE TOO. BUT WE DID HEAR ABOUT IT. "WHY CAN'T WE PARK CLOSER?"

WE HIT OSWALD'S BEAR CAMP, WHERE ALL THE GOOD BEARS GO FOR FUN. ONLY SAW ONE MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN TWO BEARS. WELL THE BIGGER ONE WON OUT, AND GOT TO CONTROL THE FENCE LINE WHERE MOST OF THE PEOPLE FED THEM. AND AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW, NICK HAD THEM EATING OUT OF HIS HAND, AND I THINK JAKE GOT A KISS, OR MAYBE IT WAS JUST A SNIFF! ANYWAY WE MADE IT OUT WITH ALL OUR BODY PARTS STILL ATTACHED AND WORKING.

THEN WE HEADED UP TO THE BIG LAKE AND HAD A PICNIC LUNCH ON THE BEACH AND WE WERE JOINED BY A FEW HUNDRED FLYS, THE BITING KIND. AFTER ENJOYING THEIR COMPANY FOR OUR LUNCH BREAK (AND I DO THINK THAT FIGURE IS A LOWBALL), WE LET THEM FOLLOW US ALONG THE SHORE AS WE SKIPPED ROCKS AND POCKETED SOME OF THOSE NEAT LOOKING ONES. THERE WERE A COUPLE BIG ONES THAT HAD TO BE PUT IN A BAG. WE LOADED UP AND HEADED TO GRAND MARAIS, WITH 30-40 OF OUR NEW FRIENDS(THE FLYS) IN THE CAR. OH YES, JAKES WET PANTS WERE HUNG OUT THE PASSAGERS WINDOW TO TRY TO GET THEM TO DRY, MY BACK SEAT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ALL MADE IT BACK AND WE DID LEAVE MOST OF OUR NEW FRIENDS, TO LOOK FOR OTHER MEALS. WE THINK JAKE SMASHED THE LAST ONE ON THE WINDOW OF THE CAR AS A WARNING FOR ANY OTHERS THAT WOULD THINK ABOUT ENTERING. OH YES, WE DID GET SOME RAIN ALONG THE WAY. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, "INTO EVERYONE'S LIFE, A LITTLE RAIN MUST FALL." SO KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE THE WATER AND ENJOY THE COOL BREEZE. :+)
