Recap from last week.

Monday. It was the first day of school for teachers. I woke up at 3:30am sick. I woke up at 4am, sick. I was sick before I got into the shower. I decided not to go to school, but changed my mind. When I got home I slept until Tuesday morning. I must have been real sick, I skipped golf.
B started 6th grade and K started 3rd. J was upset he did not go to school today.

Tuesday. Another teacher day, and another day not feeling 100%.

Wednesday. First day of school for students. It went fairly well. It is my 11th year teaching.

We made it down to the camper for the weekend. I was suppose to camp with my brother and his boys. But, bad weather cancelled their tent camping. We only got a 40 minute storm Friday night. Saturday was alright. We were able to go out on the boat for a nice cruise around the lake. The weather felt more like late September not late August. We will be back in a few weeks.

I golfed tonight. The league is over, but I can golf til the end of October on Mondays.

Tubing on Atwood

We would use dad's boat to tube because it moves faster than the pontoon. Also, we would anchor the pontoon at boater's beach while we tubed with others on dad's boat.

Fish of 2009

J caught this fish off the front of our boat while it was docked.

We did a pretty good job catching fish off our dock this year.

Fishing at Atwood.

This was the largest white bass K caught today.
T and J joined us in the afternoon for a swim and a little fishing before we called it a day.

This was my lone fish I caught. It was about a three pound channel catfish.

This was fish number 1 for Kent. He ended up catching 7 white bass and 1 saugeye. He had a pole in the water more than I did today. But, I still had a fun day. It was by far the best fishing day I had at Atwood in a long time. We were trolling off our pontoon boat just off the point to the beach when we caught our fish.

The end of summer vacation is fast approaching. We spent last weekend at the camper. I am sure that surprises you. We went down on Thursday and stayed through Monday. T had to drive back and forth a couple of times for work. We did a movie night on the boat. We hooked up my dvd player into the boat's speakers. We went out and anchored the boat and watched HSM3. It was almost like a drive in movie. I am sure we will do it again in the future. The rest of the weekend was swimming and tubing. Mike, Christy and their girls come down Sunday. Their boat is still in the shop. Mike brought down a different tube and the kids had fun on it. I will post some pictures soon.
Hopefully, tomorrow K and I will head down to the lake for a morning of fishing.

We went to Atwood again this weekend and summer finally showed up. We went out on a sunset cruise Friday. It was our first time out after sunset. It was fun to cruise at dark. We did some tubing and swimming on Saturday. T had to work to close. Sunday, Christy, Mike and their two kids, plus new friends Alissa and Mike and their three kids came down to Atwood in the afternoon. We had a fun day swimming and tubing. Mike N. tried to wake board but dad's boat didn't have enough juice to get him up. The weather was warm and breezy. The lake was choppy but made better tubing. This morning we did some quick tubing before leaving. Then the rain came and washed out my golf game.

Time for a week in review.

We went to Cedar Point last Wednesday with our friends Christy and Mike. It has been 13 years since our last trip to CP. Things have changed since that trip. We did ride all the major coasters. The Top Thrill Dragster was amazing. 120 mph in 4 seconds, then up 420 feet and then back down. The ride lasts 17 seconds but worth the hour wait.

We did not make it to the camper this past weekend. T had to work both at the hospital and Subway. B had the HOF Community Parade on Sunday. After the parade we went boating. We ate dinner on the boat and the kids swam.

I had a good round of golf last night. 41. I tied my best round of the year. The league ends in a few weeks but we can play golf until the end of Oct.

Oh, one last thing. I shaved off my goatee last Thursday. I gave it until to today and I am growing it back. I just don't look like me without it. As J said...."put it back on, because you aren't daddy like that."
