Flindt Landing, Canada

So Ben has gone to Flindt Landing Camp (look closely at the websites photos...you may spot some of a young Trenton and a young Tyler in there!) in Canada three times now. His aunt Annie, uncle Jay and their son, David usually go along with three other people to make it a group of six. Two years ago (2006) Tyler was able to go and in 2004 Trenton was able to go with the group (along with Ben and Ben's dad). It was the time of their lives. They are allowed to bring 4 walleyes (VERY YUMMY) and 4 northern pike home as a limit. This year grandpa Honeycutt was able to go along with Annie, Jay, David, Ben, and Ben's dad. He had a great time and came home with good stories. They always see lots of animals...moose, loons, bears and bald Eagles. This time they came across a black bear right in the middle of the road on their way there. In fact, they had to honk to get it to move. Ben was also able to take the fish guts one evening to an island where the Eagles are and was able to catch a beautiful sight! Nine bald Eagles eating at the same time. He shared a story of how the alpha male eats first and no one interferes until he gives the go ahead. Pretty cool. Ben's biggest catches were the northern pike at 33 1/2 inches and a walleye at 21 inches. They left on the 4th of July (hit a deer on the way up also) and came home on Saturday. Needless to say, we were very glad to have daddy home with us. Here are pictures from his trip. Definitely a vacation to remember. Ben said it was funny how grandpa Honeycutt kept asking why they were still at the camp when they already had their limits to take home by Sunday! That man never stops. ; )
Gabi had two birthdays yesterday after Ben arrived home. That gave us the opportunity to catch a movie. Great movie! A little bloody and had quite a bit of language but it definitely kept my interest and had lots of twists. This morning the boys were off to team wrestling camp here until Wednesday. Luckily the school got a few of the parents to drive the group there and back so we won't have to worry about transportation.
