Nisswa Turtle Races!

 Nisswa Turtle Races


 Riley was supposed to be in the heat with her cousin's but they ran out of turtles so she had to race the next round.
 She was kinda bummed...
 And then her turtle got hung up with another turtle and got stuck...but none of the kids won which was good:)

Sparkle Eyes!

Riley's Proudest Moment! And Other Fish Tales.

 Riley's Rock Bass
 Zacky's Big Catch
 Riley Likes Clam Hunting too
 Daddy Daughter time:)
 All the other kids on the other dock...
 No shortage of Sunnies!

Riley didn't get into fishing until close to the end, but then she caught a Rock Bass and that was all you heard about the rest of the trip. Even random strangers had to hear about her Rock Bass:) In other fish tales...All the big kids pulled in LOTS of sunnies and Zack proclaimed himself a Master Bass Fisherman. (That was before he fell in off the dock and caught Darin's finger with the hook!), but I think he recovered nicely and was ready to go again soon after! Good thing Zacky had swimming lessons and is a fish of his own kind! Even Adie loved fishing and she doesn't usually like that kind of thing. She wanted to touch every fish the grown-ups caught! Did I mention Hubert is perfect for fishing? The kids literally just dropped their line in at the end of the dock and had a constant flow in fish coming in!

Bird Nerd Paradise!

 Mama Duck
 Osprey
 My personal obsession

 Loony Bird
 Mystery Bird?!?!?

More Loony Birds

I love going "up north" because there are way more birds and lots that we don't see down here. The Loons were there to greet us when we arrived. I didn't get pictures of every bird, but there were Green and Blue Herons, Eagles, Osprey, King Fishers, Loons, Ducks and some random one we still aren't sure of...Maybe a Common Golden Eye or Canvasback? I even saw some Sandhill Cranes on the drive home. And those are just the birds I was counting...I don't count sparrows, blackbirds, crows etc:)
