My grandfather, Norman Albertson celebrated his 96th birthday and 12th wedding anniversary on August 1st. Some of our family members joined together in Detriot Lakes, MN to be with him and his bride. We started out with a birthday dinner.
Monday night, Sarah had reserved a fishing guide to take the two of us out. To say that we were excited would be an understatement, but I still had low expectations for really catching fish. To our astonishment, Brad Laabs was the BEST guide ever and had us catching more fish, and bigger fish, than I had ever dreamed. Sarah and I walked away wondering how we had ever fished without guide and counting the days until we can come back and fish with Brad.
On Tuesday, we rented a pontoon boat and had fishing time. Everyone went out on the lake, the kids had successful fishing and Great-Grandpa Albertson began telling fishing stories. This was so much fun, as the kids catch fish, grandpa laughed at their excitement and re-counted all of our similar moments.
The last evening, we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful lake sunset. I found it funny that "the twins" we were both wearing orange shirts.
