Lakeside Lounging

Finally -- some SUN! We have had a lot of rain. I am talking days of rain, with occasional spots of sunshine. Thank goodness the sun decided to make an appearance, because it was starting to get depressing. Over the weekend, Mommy Cia took me to hang out at the Miles Standish State Forest. It's just over in Plymouth, but she joked about it being devoid of cell phone service and all things "newfangled". Maybe so...but man, I LOVED it out there! Beautiful trees, plenty of campground and neat cabins. Nothin' but nature, baby.

I had an absolutely awesome time meeting new people and hanging out in the lake. Swimming. Fishing. Boating. Ahhh...the fresh air! I couldn't get enough, and Mommy Cia had to drag me away from the water at the end of the day. I tell ya, it was so nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and I can't wait to go again sometime soon.

Check out this picture of me in my new boat. Ok, so it's not really mine, but I like to think it is. There's nothing wrong with a little daydreaming. Besides, as you can see from the picture above, I make a VERY good (and dashingly handsome) captain. Who cares if that wasn't really the steering wheel? It looks like I've been driving (and sailing) boats my whole life, doesn't it?



As I said, fishing was a biggie during my visit to the State Forest, and Mommy Cia was quite determined to teach me how to fish. Now, we did a lot of practicing without an actual hook - she didn't want to impale herself, as it has been quite some time since she last casted a reel. But I must say, she wasn't too shabby, and if this keeps up, I'll be a master caster in no time. We're going to keep practicing next weekend and perhaps by the 4th of July I will be able to say I caught a fish. If so, you'll know it. Because I'll blog it. Oh, heck yeah, I will! Check out my mad skills...





There were TONS of little fish, otherwise known as minnows, swimming around the lake. I tried to catch them with my net, but they are FAST little buggers. Mommy Cia tried to help me, but all she did was scare them away. Though, I must say, she almost got me a little tadpole. That would have been pretty cool.




Me and history...The Mayflower. Now, that's a big boat.



What better way to close out the weekend than to have a HUGE cupcake? YUMMMM!
