Weekend

I had one of those really nice and really busy weekends. Weather was perect. Woke up at 6:30 and was golfing at the tourney at Grand Casino with Rod by 8:30. It was cool and bright when we started, beautiful day all day long. Had some beers and a good buzz by the time we headed back in the afternoon.

And then we did a couple hour scope-out of the 3 mile up river from my place. Dropped the canoe in at 65 and floated. We found 4 good spots that we will fish in the spring. Used a jig with crawlers, but didn't catch anything. We weren't trying alot, just checking things out. I had a few bites though.

We rolled in to the 'front yard' landing with no time to spare. Aaron and Sandra were meeting us at our house for a dinner date. Went and got the Aztek and drive back and they were here hanging out. Tamara gave me that look... :) Got ready quick and he headed to Chicos. Had a nice time and then hung at their house to watch the Badgers beat Iowa on Sat night national footnball.

So Sunday the plan was to take the boys to the Renaisaince Festival. Got moving and made the 2 hour drive and Max really thought it was cool. He was a trouper as was Reid. We had a nice day with the high at 85 which was close to record high. The funniest thing that embaressed Max, was where I gave max a quarter to throw into a guys hat that would bang a tin foil pie tin on his head. Told max that he would go 'ding' on his head as he did that for other kids. So Max took the quarter and tried to drop it in the hat and the guy moved it just in time... :) Then max picked it up and tried again and he moved it again. 3 times. Max had a smile and we urged him to try again. So then he put it in there quick and got it in and the guy did the 'ding' on Max's head and then his own. Lots of folks laughed... Max got embarrassed. We told him it was fun. He's gettting better, but still reaaly gets upset when people laugh at him. I'm sure he will NOT be a comedian when he grows up. ;)
