Art For All: SUMMER VACATION- THE CABIN, GILBOA, NY

Here it is Friday or is it Saturday? It's rainy, the fish are not bitting, and we are on the fence about if we should stay in NY until Sunday which promises to be the next nice day. This gives me a great opportunity to just blog !! Here are some of our adventures this week....

DAY #1 Me... Moving in! Yep, this is all my scrapbooking stuff for the week. I'm lucky enough to have a room to make my mess in away from the rest of the house!

Day #1 fishing, dirt biking, biking to small stream with Sean who can't imagine doing anything better then catching minos, salamanders, water bugs, "mom, they are so easy to catch".

Caitlin and I enjoy sitting by the pond watching and helping Sean with his ascend and descend. " I've got an idea, what I going to do is go over there and look into the tunnel to see if I can find the other end, are you guys coming?".

Caitlin; "Sean, we are going home... Because I'm tired..."

Sean; after tossing back a couple of fish that didn't make it because of the long walk from the stream to the bucket,"it happens! see what's going to happen later is a big fish is going to eat the little fish. "

Buckled back into the cart Caitlin says, "Ok, I'm ready!"

Day #2

While the boys rode their dirt bikes, I scrapbooked and Caitlin hung out and really didn't do anything until the boys went fishing and she followed them. While they fished a Bald Eagle flew by and landed into its nest, the same one we have been seeing for years.

We also went for a boat ride as a family. The boys loved catching the little fish with their nets as they jumped out of the water escaping the larger fish chasing them.
