This past weekend we had company visiting. The weather was gorgeous, so we spent the first day of their visit on our lake. Our neighbor found this giant leach while we were wading, and we caught it in a bucket to study for a while. But, he tried to make a grand escape. Now he is with another neighbor who is thinking about taking him for a little fishing....:)
On Sunday we went to Munising and kayaked at Pictured Rocks. Lots and lots of sun! What a great weekend!
