Crea Week at Rose Lake
Brendan munching on a banana up at the cabin. I have a toddler picture of myself somewhere, that I've been meaning to dig out, where I have the same expression and facial features. I'll find it someday...
Brendan "found" fishing while at the cabin. He seriously stood on the dock with Brad for over a half hour at a time and "fished" (Brad would cast his line out and Brendan would reel it in.) He LOVES fishing. He also caught his first fish. Brad and I took him out for just a little bit to do some sunfishing. After awhile, he grew bored helping me fish, so I threw out his fishing pole with just an unbaited hook and let him pretend. All of a sudden he was yelling "Ow! Ow!" and Brad said "I think he has a fish on his line!" I told him he was crazy because it was just a plain hook and I had put it way down at the bottom. Brendan kept yelling "Ow!", so we checked his line and, sure enough, he had a huge rock bass on it (seriously, I could hardly get my hand around it!) Brendan didn't really know what to think, kinda a cross between being scared and interested. We threw the fish back and that was pretty much the end of him wanting to fish right then.

The big cabin (left) and the little cabin (right), with the shed and fish house in between.
Brendan and Zizzi Liz playing bubbles (aka, using the sisters for some babysitting.)
Brendan actually blowing bubbles for the first time, instead of pretty much eating them.
Brad and I did a lot of sunfishing together (yay for free babysitters!) and we spent quite awhile cleaning them one evening. We made a good team...I filleted them and Brad de-skined and de-boned them. I think all-in-all we filleted about 40 sunfish.
Brendan and "Donut" (what Brendan calls Auntie Dooney) watching the fireworks together.
An exhausted Brendan taking a very long snooze in Brad's arms.
