For the rest of the weekend we set our destination for Lake Mille Lacs and my parents cabin.  The weather was perfect the whole time and it was great just hanging out with the family.  Kate caught her first couple fish on the Lake and we ended up getting a few keepers.  I mostly caught Perch, but did manage to reel in one Northern Pike!  Shortly after we finished fishing we witnessed the fireworks show right over Wahkon bay.   The next morning after a good meal of  Walleye for breakfast, we took off for Aitkin to cure my wakeboarding fix.  The water temperature was perfect and we had a blast wakeboarding with the family!  Thank you Annie and Eric for the hospitality!  I think it’s safe to say that we had a great holiday weekend.
