The wind this morning was blowing hard at 12-20 mph out of the WNW. The sky was mostly sunny and the temperature was 74 degrees. Although it was too breezy to go fishing or tubing, the wind sure cooled things off from the heat and humidity from yesterday.
We eased into the day with a pot of coffee, a breakfast of eggs, hash browns and sausage, and then went outside. It was such a wonderful day, despite the wind, that we all loved being outside.
Jayden and I played croquet, Bocce ball and had sword fights with sticks. We went on two different ATV rides including one when we went to the beach and threw rocks into the lake. Kathleen and the girls went for runs, bike rides and exercised out on the dock. What a fun day!
We had so much food left over from the past few days -- meat loaf, salmon, and ribs -- that we just had left overs tonight. Kathleen did make a cake so we could have an early birthday celebration for my Mom who has her birthday on July 2.
After dinner we watched the sunset, just hung out on the porch talking and enjoying the evening before going to bed. Tomorrow we need to take Ashley to St. Cloud so she can see her grandma Coyle before Ashley leaves early Sunday morning. We may stay down in St. Cloud until the Fourth of July, or we may come back up here. What we do will be determined in the next day or two.
As much as I'd like to do some fishing, I'm going to spend as much time as possible with my wife and kids before they all head back to California. Once they do, I'll focus my time on applying stain to the house and fishing. Stay tuned for detailed mid-summer fishing reports from Leech Lake.
