We've been to a lot of float flys, but this was the best one so far. It may be my favorite fly yet! We borrowed a boat to take with us, and the first thing we did when we got there was unload the boat and go out on the lake. It was still early and the water was so smooth and peaceful.
Nora loved the water and spent most of the day splashing in the shallow water. She did a great job staying close to the shore. Meanwhile, Zeke was playing in the dirt further inland.
Aaron did plane retrieval as necessary and Zeke went with him nearly every time.
Aaron even got to fly. Some technical problems stopped him after one flight, but he loved his first experience flying off the water.
Toward the end of the day, we all went out on the boat again. I really enjoyed watching the float planes from out in the middle of the lake instead of the shore. While we were out, another plane lost power so we towed it in.
It was a wonderful way to spend a warm sunny Saturday.
