Kids at Play

Today was pretty quiet around here. Half of the staff are out on a quick trip into the BWCA, and Kyle, mike's nephew and our constant entertainer of the recent weeks, has gone home. Lynn took him to Duluth to meet his plane, and Mike headed into Grand Marais... that left myself (AJ), Donny and Kevin to work and entertain ourselfs. We definitely worked hard, but we also played hard. Here we see Redbird and Unicorn (their radio names) enjoying a break on the swings after mowing and weed wacking.

The weather up here has been interesting, as always. Yesturday we had a nice sunny day, with a couple mid afternoon/evening showers. We actually had a couple people flip canoes during these two different speradic rain showers. Fortunatly the water wasn't nearly as cold as it was even 3-4 days ago and no one was worse for the wear. Today was supposed to be thunderstorms, however it has stayed sunny all afternoon, which is a blessing. I think all of us are ready for the warm weather. (Even though that means bugs, which are starting to arrive.)

I decided to add this picture just for the laughs that I'm sure will ensue. There is no doubting we have an eclectic staff, with bold personalities this year. Everyone gets along really well and it is promising to be a really fun and productive summer. Mike came back from Grand Marais about mid-way through our work day, and all of us, being so tired from our hard work, were so very excited to see that Mike had brought us a treat from town: WORLD'S BEST DONUTS!

So here is a not at all planned picture of Tarp, Redbird & Unicorn eating our Donuts!

For all of you fishermen out there, tomorrow Donny (aka Redbird) has agreed to provide a fishing update. He is somewhat of an experianced fisherman and will give you all some ideas of whats biting and how to get their attention! (Redbird would like me to input he is a master fisherman)
