It may not be the same Lake House that Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves stared in but we were able to create our own comical magic!
We took the kids up to the lake this weekend... and at first I was to say the least alittle nervous as this was not a pool with a visable ground (and if you know me... you know that I hate the unknown!) Funny story to go along with that... I must have been in 5th grade, I guess that makes me about 12. My dad (who is quite the fisherman) decided to get us up early one morning while at the lake house and take my brother and I fishing. We did a lot of trolling for fish(probably my dad's plan for keeping us from getting board)... which if I remember correctly is casting your lines out the back of the boat and then slowly driving the boat in a forward motion. This morning we we trolling and something bit at my line, and then again, this time practically wrenching the pole right out of my hands. I believe we lost the the hook, line and pole that morning. Turns out after talking to some of the locals... it could have been a large cat-fish. (which makes me think of Grumpy Old Men!) Anyway, I digress.
We had a great weekend, the kids had a blast in the lake and I am not so nervous after this trip and plan on returning very soon!
