The week started off with some awesome fishing excitement, when Good Old' Dad thought he would show the "crappie rookies" ie. Greta and I, just how it's done when he somehow hooked a 50 in. MUSKIE on a teeny tiny hook...on four lb. test line.
It was HIGH drama on the open waters...because! the big net was missing from the boat.
After yelling and getting some help from shore, an SOS net was brought to the boat, Nate jumped in and after a few attempts at netting the monster fish....it broke the line. It was a pretty big bummer. These photos capture the moment pretty well!
Here you can see the top line of the Muskies back on the top of the water.
Look at the size of that splash!
Greta and I were pretty fired up!
There was also a lot of lounging, snoozing and snuggling with Finny.
Lots and LOTS of fishing, and boat rides
Here is a CLASSIC picture of Greta. Always eager to pose for a candid photo :-)
Dad was an awesome guide, fighting the @#(*%$Q! WIND and sore tore up hands.
And, it was just so wonderful to have an entire week to spend with Finn.
He's changing so much. He got his first haircut (more pictures to come soon of the event), he's running everywhere, talking up a storm and is QUITE a little ham, busy mimicking everyone. Here are some super sweet photos of him.
Thanks Mom and Dad for a GREAT WEEK! I love you!
More fun Hayward moments and photos here :-)

I imagine I'm going to be getting calls from the National Media about the 50 "FOOT" muskie...:)))!!!! 50 inches Dharma, 50 inches....It sure was a fun week!!!
dad
Nice pictures! I read somewhere that every lake up north has a 50 foot muskie...too bad Reid could not have landed it. That looks like the ridgie gang sign Greta is flashing...middle finger and thumb.
