On our way there we had lots of fun. It was coming on dark when we finally made it to our cap. But we all made it there injury free and safe. Then we went inside and started to play some cards, and some other games, until it was time to call it a night and went to bed. But then somebody said, “Did anybody happen to bring some fuel for the camp stoves?” Then someone had spoken up and said to the last guy on the snowmobile on the end if he had seen the trespassing sign by the bridge when we went on it? One of the guys was a little late, so they had asked him what he was doing back there. I had told them that I had picked up another passenger on his way to the camp. We all said we should make a nostalgic film about our journey to the cabin.

My First Fishing Experience by Alma Marsman

I went fishing with my family a few summers ago at the lake. It was a lot of people fishing there that evening. I had never fished before and I did not even know how to hook the bait. My son-in-law put a worm on my hook and my granddaughter told me to throw the line out in the water. The first time I threw my line out in the water I caught a man by his shirt as I was pulling back the line. The second time I threw it, it got stuck on the weeds and I lost my hook. The next time I got my hook tangled up with the man next to me. So they chased me away and told me to find a place way over the corner where nobody else was standing.

I went over by myself and there was a lady not too far from me that fishes every year and she was showing me how to throw my rod. There was also a little boy with his father who were here on vacation.

I was finally able to catch my first fish. When the fish was on my bait I was so excited and I told the lady next to me that it was something on my hook and she was going to pull it out for me and I lost my first fish and I almost cried. Everybody laughed and talked about the fish that got away. I caught another fish and I pulled it out of the water and I was afraid to take it off the hook but they would not help me so I had to do it myself and I kept shouting, “It’s jumping! It’s jumping!” and everybody laughed.
