We took our 3rd annual trip to the cabin in mid August. Relaxing as always. From the first 15 minutes to the end, Callie was a fishing queen, with the new fishing pole grampy got her for her Birthday. Trent, usually the Turtle King, was totally nixed. There was not a turtle to be found in "Trent's Bay"! We saw a couple swimming out in the deep, but nothing we could even get close to. So he was forced to switch to fishing, and this time it was Trent's turn to get bass fever!
It turns out fishing in the skift is good luck. Trent caught his first whopper with Gran, and Callie and I went out and she caught her whopper! Gran swears at one point Trent had the record fish on the line, but it snapped, so we'll never know. The fish were biteing! You can see by the look on Trent's face, he's a little conflicted. He likes the fishing, but is quick to get them back in the water. He doesn't want to keep them out of the water for too long.
Our fish story for this trip involves Gran catching a fish with a hook coming out of it's bowels. "It's pooping a hook!" We laughed so hard! She surgically removed it and saved that fishes life!Campfire lunch off third island. Hot Ham and Cheese Campcakes, YUM!
Callie going skiing for the first time behind the boat. 
Success on the first try, a face full on the second!
That was the end of that for this trip! A windy cooler day gave us the opportunity to do a little exploring, we saw the worlds largest penny, commemorating the million penny collection by Dr. Kate to build the local hospital. We also went mini-golfing and go-carting. Trent was an inch and a half too short to drive his own, but he convinced them that he knew exactly how to drive cause he learned it on the Wii. Who said video games aren't educational?
A special request from Marshall brought us a little more history. We went for dinner at Little Bohemia, the location of the John Dillinger shoot out.
The bullet holes are still there, and they are everywhere on the outside of the building
Even inside the dining room right where you eat. You can see right through the walls to the other side.
It's so cool to just get right up to a piece of the past. They recently filmed the Johnny Depp movie Public Enemies there. The food was delicious. I had the Dillinger Salad with Celery Dressing. Putting that on my list of recipes to look up as a chef would say, such a unique flavor profile.Thanks again Mr. and Mrs. K. I treasure the experience and the memories!
