Winnie 08

We made our annual trip up to Lake Winnibigoshish, near Bena, MN. This year the clan consisted of Eric and Melissa Hatle, Keith and Debbie Bergren, Danny Tibbetts, his buddy Jeremy and Troy and I. The Hatle's brought their pontoon this year, which was so much more fun!! The guys fished and us girls relaxed. There was even a toilet on the pontoon..bonus! Pretty sunset.


Melissa using the facility.

Troy wasn't too excited about fishing at first, but he figured it was something to do. He's not the avid fisherman. As he said, "I'm an upland game hunter." Here is Eric after he decided to take a dip. He was standing at the back of the boat, stood up, took off his shirt, ran toward Melissa and I and hurdled over us as he dove into the water. Our lives flashed before our eyes!
The chimney (one of many that night).

This lake is huge, I think it's like 10 miles across, but it's super shallow and sandy. You could easily walk the length of a football field and the water would still be only at your waist.
