August 2, 2011

We had another great Floyd Lake reunion of the Biedenbender, Reiner, and Schubkegel families. Cathy, Dave, and Hannah came up last week Thursday. Grandma, Jean and her kids (minus Mitch - work), Tim, Tyler, Levi, Jenni, and guest Mariah S. came up Sunday. Andrea, Krissy, and Gaylin drove up late at night.

The past few days have been spent tubing, relaxing, and enjoying the latest Paige/Hannah cabin spa under the theme "Where Beauty Meets the Lake". Jack enjoyed hanging with his male cousins. Dave and Tim caught some bass and panfish while out on a few trips. Topwater action was slow but the largemouth were hitting on purple and black plastic worms. The weather was warm - upper 80s - despite some needed rain and t-storms on Monday. Andrea gave Levi and Tyler a buzz cut, and blew a circuit when grandma's 50-year-old electric razor got stuck in Ty's long locks. Note to self: If the circuit in the porch trips, reset switch is on the outlet behind large blue couch on porch south end.

Tuesday night featured a brat and fish dinner, followed by the adults watching "the Bachelor" and the kids watching a video while having tickle fights and "buckin' broncho rides" with the monster in the sleeping bag (usually Tyler or Levi). The Duberowskis (Dot and Roger)from Lake Havasu visited, had lunch, and had a quick fishing trip to the weed bed. Dave and Tim hit the lake one more time with high success in Mud Lake, straight across by the large house dock - with surfacing bass and crappie hits. The Madison Schubkegels headed for the Mall of America on Thursday but Dave, Andi, and her bud hit the lake for some topwater bass action in Mud Lake at Al Stelljes' bass point (in and to the far right). They had plenty of action, complete with a "large marge" throwing Dave's poppin' plug with a might jump.

Thanks for another great time!
