Yesterday we decided to go spend one night up at the cabin. What a great decision that was. Duner took us to Chute Pond to go fishing and then to a little know rock called 'Slippery Rock'. It is what it says. It is a big rock with water running down it and at the bottom, it is damned it up with smaller bolders. It has one big slide and two others, but the other two hurt your butt, as I am told by Reece. He went down first and bounced so hard Duner felt his pain. We have found a new fun spot. It is about quarter mile walk to get there but it is definitely worth it. Zeb did a great job, just watching and giggling at his brothers. The boys ALL had a BLAST!

The boys also did some fishing. Brock is the Luckiest kid in the world this weekend. First at the fishing tournament he got a fish, while Reece did not, then his name gets picked first out of 325 kids and he gets to choose between a bike or a choice of 50 smaller prizes and he you can imagine what he did. No, he did NOT take the bike!!!! I don't know what he was thinking!! He chose a mix of water guns instead.?????? Every kid got their name called so they all got prizes. Reece chose a fishing pole and tackle set. So he has a new love, fishing. He has gone every day since he got the pole. He even left Slippery Rock early to fish with Dad.

Anyway, Brock wasn't only lucky with the water guns(????), he also caught a fish in ONLY 2 casts on Chute Pond! Pour Reece he didn't cry until about 50 minutes later, when he still hadn't caught anything and tried most of the new lures in his box. He even tried some of Duners too! He didn't give up though and managed to catch a little Rock bass, just like Brock. (Probably the same fish) Duner caught a 2-3 lb largemouth bass and a smaller Northern, which was still pretty big to me. I don't think I ever saw that kind of fish before.

Needless to say we ended the great evening with 2 great movies and headed to bed. We were going to have a fire, but ran out of time.
