Labor Day Weekend 2008
This weekend was a lot of fun. We started out by going to the new church to help construct the new lighting and hang the lights. About 40 volunteers showed up so we got a ton done. After that we had Chris and Sarah over to watch a movie. We watched “License to Wed” which had a few very funny moments and overall was a decent movie.
Saturday we slept in late and I played some computer games in the afternoon. We went to “B-Dubs” that night for dinner. Sunday morning, Mrs. Kraus and I were on the worship team at church. I had a rough set in my opinion– didn’t play as well as I wanted to and the wind blew my music off my stand during the 10:30 service. But others said it all sounded good, so I guess the big guy upstairs was at work in the room. Still, in an effort to get better at guitar, I asked one of the other guys who plays in church if he wants to get together and play guitar once in awhile, so that should be fun.
After church I vegged for awhile and then we decided to go out to Dad’s place on lake Tetonka. We packed a small bag to stay overnight, a couple of DVDs, and our fishing gear. When we first got there we were still a bit tired, so we watched “Hitch”. We’ve probably watched that movie about 3 or 4 times since I bought it, and it’s always funny. Kevin James is hilarious.
After the movie we went fishing off the bridge. I caught a largemouth bass (see pics). Nothing too huge, but it was a fun one because it thrashed so much in the water. It never jumped, but it was really fighting me in the water. We used nightcrawlers that we bought from the bait shop in Madison Lake on the way there. We didn’t catch anything else, so we went in for the night and cooked up a frozen pizza we brought over.
We slept well in the nice bed that night and slept pretty late. After breakfast we fished again for quite a long time, but didn’t have any luck. I think it’s because SO MANY boats passed by on account of it being Labor Day. We didn’t get more than 5-10 minutes at a time before a couple more boats would come by, some of them with children quite loud, so that’s probably why. It was still fun and we got a good tan. After that, we packed up and headed home around 5pm.
It was a great weekend. Thanks Dad and Kate!
