Kayak Afternoon

After the experience of Michael Parker's turkey, we cleaned the bird and bribed Dad into making us breakfast. Michael stated "the only thing better than shooting a turkey is the breakfast afterward." This was all it took for Dad to whip up some eggs, hash-browns, and toast. It was spectacular! After breakfast we collected our things and spent the rest of the day in boats. Michael and Dad took the freighter canoe and Uncle Al and I took the kayaks. We got to see ducks and geese, and fished a few of the back-waters. We stopped at one backwater and Dad built a fire in which we roasted brats. It couldn't have been any better. Michael managed to catch his first pike but it made it back to the water before pictures could be taken. It was a tranquil day that was wonderful to be shared by the four of us.
