We headed up north on Friday afternoon to Beacon Shores on Whitefish Lake for the fishing opener. The weather forecast was for rain all weekend, but it was just grey and very calm Saturday morning. The guys were on the lake by about 9:00, while Sandy and I took a long walk. The rain held off until about noon, and then it really let loose. Since the ice just went out of the lake a few days ago, the docks weren't in yet and the water was VERY cold, so guess what? No fish!
Sunday morning dawned clear and cool. We stayed in a 4 bedroom townhome, which was very comfortable, although we sure didn't need all the beds! 
They had a lot of dock damage last weekend.The ice had gone out, and then the wind came up and blew the ice back in and up on the shore, crumpling some of the sections of the dock. A whole crew of guys in hip boots were working all day Saturday, even in the rain, putting in the boat lifts and trying to get the beach area cleaned up. What a job!
There was still ice on some of the rocks - unbelieveable for mid-May!
We finally were able to soak up a little cool sunshine before we left Sunday afternoon.
It was great to get away for the weekend, but I really missed seeing the kids for Mother's Day. They called, though, and we'll be together on Wednesday for a belated celebration at Jenna and Andy's house.
