Waconda Lake

Matt and I went on a trip to see his dad and spend a little bit of time outside this weekend. We went to his cabin at Waconda Lake. The plan was to get to shoot and fish a little bit. I have never caught a fish in my life, so it was Matt's goal for me to catch a fish. Friday night had packed up the car will a ton of guns and fishing polls, however non of them got used. Of course the weekend we want to play outside it is 50 degrees with 40 mph north winds, a little to cold to be fishing. However we did go and set catfish lines, well Matt and his dad did, I had to go check them the next day,  but still no fish. :(

Matt and I found lots of other fun things to do this weekend. We took a drive around the lake and let Duke go chase birds. At one point Matt slowed down the truck to look at a few deer and the next thing we knew Duke was running beside the truck, he jumped out!

I also got to go see the World's Largest Ball of Twine. 

On Sunday after catching no fish we drive home and on the way home we stopped by Coronado Heights. It was very pretty and cool to see this little castle on top of a hill.

Matt and I at the top!

All in all it was a great weekend! We made the most of it and I am looking forward to going back and having many more great weekends like it!
