Cragun's Resort

Last weekend we went to Cragun's Resort on Gull Lake, near Brainerd, Minnesota so that Chris could help run a professional bass fishing tournament. We got to stay for free in one of the shoreline suites that overlooked the lake and because Chris only had to work about 3 hours a day we had lots of time to have fun. We especially enjoyed taking Catie on a ride in a motorboat, and she seemed to enjoy going fast (we were going faster than it looks like in the video). Chris had fun meeting all the famous fishermen that were at the tournament.

4th of July

Catie stayed up late with us to watch the fireworks. We also took her fishing for her first time earlier in the day.

Creeping and Getting into Things

Here is Caitlyn getting into something for the first time. She loves throwing diapers around.

Catie has been creeping for a few weeks now. She is ALWAYS on the go.

6-Months-Old and Trying to Crawl

Catie just turned 6-months and is constantely getting up on her hands and knees. She rocks back and forth, trying so hard to crawl.

I love when she falls asleep holding her ducky.

On your mark, get set...

This is the first time I ever tickled her.

Check out her fine motor skills!

This video is really long, but we think it's sort-of funny. She just does it again and again and again.

Fishing Hall of Fame

This weekend we drove out to Hayward, WI to visit the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. The big musky in the background of this first picture is a "Shrine to Anglers" and is 4 1/2 stories tall. We were able to hike up it and stand in its' gaping jaw. The museum also has over 50,000 historical fishing artifacts. I actually thought it was pretty interesting and Chris had the time of his life, of course. The baby just starred at everything and was fascinated the most by the bench we sat on (she loved its' rough texture and spent a long time rubbing her hands on it).

Chris thinks that this picture is so funny. Guy humor I guess.
