First Day Off :)

my view every morning :)

amazing shorelunch and tanning

I have LOTS to report on! Firstly, the weather this week has been phenomenal. Absolutely beautiful to be honest- its reached 30 degrees. I am really happy that I chose this year to come up to the lodge, I hear that it is usually really snowy and icy still at this time of the year. The other day my boss let us girls go out for a shorelunch and an afternoon of fishing! It was great to see how the boys cook their meals, and of course it was amazing to spend an afternoon on the water! I  caught 6 walleyes and a few small pike. The biggest being a 20" walleye. Nothing too exciting, but I had a lot of fun. Fishing sure is addicting- its like gambling (I already have one of the guides lined up to take me out tonight LOL) The other day Mike caught the biggest pike of the year thus far, a 43". I saw the pics, and it is absolutely ginormous. last year the record was 44" so I'm thinking that it will be beat this year! Hopefully. There have also been some 29" walleyes caught already. Considering its only been a week of walleye season, I think things are going pretty well.

Other than fishing, we do a lot of work here too (might as well talk about that a little)! The first guests came in yesterday, and now we are busy working out the kinks of serving dinner to a full house. Its a big change, but I work with really great/fun people which makes it worth it. On my day off today I was lucky to SLEEP IN! I got up at 930 and watched a few movies. I am currently finishing up a few loads of laundry and then I'll head back up to my cabin to put them away! I did some cool science experiments with the kids today (always thinking about teaching) we made goop (corn starch and water) and then we made a volcano (vinegar and baking soda) I am going to hopefully get some mentos and coke and then we can have some real explosions.......its fun to play with them and get them all excited about learning :)

I am going to add a few pictures in this post (if I can figure out how) to give you a glimpse of house beautiful it is here in the north ENJOY!

have an excellent long weekend- hope the weather is great! Cheers :)
