August Long Weekend In Mattawa

Well, we missed Voyageur Days for the first time - but we were able to get to Mattawa on the following weekend. My brother Joe joined us for some R&R, and for some not-so-productive fishing.


Joe, Landon, and I headed out to the twin bridges near Eau Claire and ended up with catching a few fish. (The camera didn't seem to work whenever we landed a decent sized fish)



Joe & I also took a little tour out to the Otto Holden generating station.

Melissa's Mom, Donna, gave Jaden a poolside ear piercing session. Jaden showed how tough she is and only wanted to 'run' after they were done. Didn't hurt a bit eh?!


Sunday evening Joe and I headed over to Melissa's fathers place. Spike showing us his selective beer preference.

...and here's Spike looking a little 'buzzed'!

After Larry's, it was off to Jimmy's where you're greeted by Bubble Head the 20 year old Goose,

...and Turkey Lurkey. They're best friends BTW and follow each other around the property - the Turkey being Bubble Head's muscle if bothered.

Oh yeah, the pony - didn't catch his name.

We finally got to meet Emma!

Matt & Tiff dropped by and brought 7 month old Emma along. She enjoyed a quick dip in the pool and of course, a few sips of Daddy's beer! (Daddy's little girl for sure!)
