Made it to the Big Lake! #Walleye #Fishing #Boating

Well, I finally went to the Big Lake!

Our Day started out by being on the road at 3:30 am!  This is not good for me ( or anyone that has to be subjected to my unpleasant morning self ).   lol!  Anyway, after a 2 hour trip to arrive to our destination, in time to get a parking spot- we were on our way.

Now, I did wear a lifejacket - do not care if I did not look "COOL"!  It's the smart thing to do.  We were 3-4 miles out in the lake(per GPS).  The waters were a little choppy starting out, which made me a little nervous - but, things were fine the rest of the way.  There are enough fisherman out there, that if something happened- one would have help.

We did max out for the day quite early - 6 per person per day.  So, it was a quite NICE day!

The only thing different that to do next trip - make sure to bring some motion sickness (Dramamine) stuff.  There was one point that I experienced some travel sickness - this was after we put our canopy up, but I was driving the boat (1 mile an hour) & hanging over the boat to get fresh air -  so I was a little preoccupied & recovered.  Usually like standing up while driving the boat.

Going back to shore was a little choppy as we got closer to land, too.

Sharing some pictures of our Lovely Day!

Remember:  Always check the tide current & weather for the day when you go to these big lakes!  Use caution & common sense!

County Fairs and Horse Pulls!

Fun at the County Fair!  For those that enjoy Horse Pulls, here are just a few shots of these beautiful draft horses.  Fair admission will usually cover any shows in the Fair.  

Have a blessed day!

An early start to another Lake Trip!  This Lake is one of the larger ones that we've visited.  They even had a gas station that you pull up to in your boat to fill up!  The last picture is of a plane getting ready to land on the water. Lovely Day!  

DIY Fun Easy Pebble Art Plaque

Inspired by a fellow crafter.

All you need is an old board: rocks/pebbles; twine; and some E6000. I made a bit of a mess with the glue, though!  :)  That's ok-it's for outside.  You could prop it or drill a hole & hang it from a tree (or whatever you like!

As always- use proper precaution with the glue & adult supervison if needed!

Have a Blessed Day!

Pitch a Tent in your Backyard!

Here you have it a FREE vacation!  If you are lucky enough to have someplace to do this- just do it!  Especially if you have children!  No need to spend thousands of dollars on camping equipment & such.  Take little mini vacations.  There are so many things to do that do not cost a fortune.  Get out there and enjoy Nature!  :)

So I dropped my Tracfone in the water at the loading dock!

Well, things happened & it did drop from my hand.  After jumping in the water & finding my phone- immediately turned it off & put it on the dashboard of our truck.  (Of course we were not turning back home) :)  Hours later, ran into house & put in back with rice.  This morning, it is back to normal!

Lesson learned!  Always carry that rice bag, just in case!  I was kicking myself for not having one.  Had planned on putting one in the fishing bag, but had not gotten around to it!

Always be prepared!  :)

Have a blessed day!

Have a short video of this fish on my channel.  We think he was surfacing to replenish air to gills?
