Father's Day Weekend

But seriously....isn't EVERY weekend for fathers? Anyway.....

Barry took the girls to the fishing contest at Mirror Lake on Saturday morning (it was probably more for the girls than for Dad, but it was fishing so it still counts!) They all seemed to have fun. Erin excitedly told me that she caught a 1 lb sunny and her friend Claire caught a 7 lb er. Turns out Erin forgot the decimal (Erin's was .1 lb and Claire's was .7 lb) :)

Saturday afternoon, the boys left for Lake Wissota for some "real manly" fishing. They got home after 10, but with no fish. Barry caught decent Walleye, but didn't keep it. Well, happy Father's Day! (Just for the record, Barry also was gone fishing on Mother's Day weekend, so I think he owes me!)

Sunday was lazy day. Barry suddenly decided he really did want to play softball with the church softball team. He used to run the team "back in the day"...then he played on the Old Timers league, until he got hurt...and then started working nights. He was still nervous to hurt himself again...at his old age... but apparently couldn't resist. He wrangled up some old equipment...Tony even borrowed his Gramp's old "Spirit of '76" church softball shirt! They had a great time playing together. And I only had to suffer thru one day of whining (I'm sore!)
