A SPECIAL FISHING TRIP

They(a group of 9 - most of them have gone for the last 9 years) flew from KC last Friday morning to Minneapolis, MN and then from MN to Winnipeg.

Arriving in Winnipeg -the van is waiting to take the men to a lake where a float plane was waiting to take them to their final destination, Aikens Lake in Manitoba.

Below they are loading their luggage and supplies on the float plane


Rog got to check out the cockpit and then hoped the pilot stayed in good health

The guys had a fun time but when Rog left home last Thursday, I knew I would probably not be able to talk to him until he arrived back in MN. That sounds ok but the week was very long and there was no communication. I did have June and her kids with me from Monday until today when Rog came back so that helped but I was definitely ready for my hubby to return.
