Barry couldn't pass up a fishing trip. He went Friday night with some guys from church to Lake Michigan to fish for salmon. He came home late empty handed...so of course he needed to go back the next day. We loaded the car up and because the Jelly Belly factory was close to the fishing spot we headed there for a tour first. We rode a train around their warehouse and watched some movies about how Jelly Belly came to be and how they made jelly beans. The best part was definitely the end when they gave us our own bag of jelly beans. They also had a sampling counter where you could sample any flavor or kind of candy they made. Tanner wanted to try one of the Harry Potter Jelly Belly flavors....lets just say that the canned dog food flavor was not top on his list of favorites.
Tanner was a lot of help caring the fishing net full of goods.
Here is Kara hanging on the rail of the observation deck on Lake Michigan. Tanner was nervous being up there, so nervous that he climbed up saw the view and decided he was safer on the ground. He warned Kara to be careful and to stay away from the edge. I also warned her to be safe. I turned to take Kendra's picture....Kendra started pointing and freaking out about what Kara was doing. I turned back to where Kara was and she was half way on the other side of the rail just hanging there. She had a good talking to about good choices and how living on the edge is not the smartest place to be. I hope this is not reoccurring theme to her life. She makes me a little nervous.
Here is Kendra before she started freaking out. I loved being on the lake. It gives you the feel of being at the ocean, without the salty air.
Here is Barry fishing in the harbour. He got skunked again, but is still determined to catch the big one.
