These were too funny not to share.

Chasing Fireflies

Greg's Canada Trip

Greg took a fishing trip to Canada with his dad, his brother Paul, and his Uncle Mark. They drove to just north of Ear Falls, Ontario, to a camp called Snake Falls on Friday and spent the night there. Early Saturday morning, they were flown into their camp on Meandrine Lake--they were the only ones on the entire lake! The guys did great fishing, had good weather, and loved their cabin. They were picked up on Wednesday morning, flown back to Snake Falls, and then made the long drive back to Shawano.

A small bear that was near the side of the road as they were getting close to Snake Falls.
