Weekend in Nahma

We had another weekend in Nahma and the weather was fairly decent. It seemed like it rained and thunderstormed about half the time we were there. Then today, of course, the temperature had to drop drastically into the 50s for most of the day. Lately, it seems we get a cold streak that lasts two weeks and then it warms into the 70s for a day or two, then back to the cold. It has also been rainy or cloudy about every day as well. It’s truly crazy that next Friday is the Fourth of July!

Anyways, getting back to Nahma, we didn’t do a whole lot but that’s okay because that’s what we usually do there. On Saturday, it was warm enough to put our swimsuits on and walk the beach but the water is still pretty cold. Leah’s mom was determined to swim this weekend and so she did, the first to go this year. The lake levels are definitely up, so that’s good too. It seems to actually have risen since last weekend, too. On Saturday night we all went fishing down at the channel where people launch their boats. The fishing was pretty good with a number of fish caught. I handed my fishing pole to Leah and she caught 2 fish on 3 casts in a matter of a couple minutes. Her first fish was the biggest of the night being a 22″ northern pike! She was extremely excited and kept yelling, “I’ve got one! I’ve got one!” I’ve also added it to the Fish Gallery on the Fishing Journal page as well.

Leah’s parents’ dog Casey was extremely excited about fishing, too. He stood in the water for almost 2 hours and was completely water logged. He was very interested in trying to eat the fish and kept wanting to chase the lure after casting but luckily he isn’t a swimmer. At one point, though, Leah’s dad was reeling in a pretty good size bass and Casey went too deep and his back end was floating in the water. Pretty hilarious! Leah captured some video of the quiet evening and Casey in the water.

It is also Leah’s birthday this Wednesday, the 25th! Happy birthday babe!
