Fishing Trip

Yesterday Alexis got to go fishing for the first time! We went to Tampier Lake with Grandma, Uncle Scott, Aunt Agnes, Uncle Kevin, Rose, Kevin and Ellen. Alexis loved it, and caught 6 fish! Most of them were just barely below the "keeper" size of 18 inches. As you can see below... that fish is so big that Alexis could barely hold it up!

Alexis was scoping out the fishing grounds while Rose and Kevin kept an eye on our bucket of giant fish.

Baby Ellen relaxed in the shade and let everyone else handle the fishing .

Alexis took a break from fishing to paint Grandma's leg...

Back at it again...

Another first... flying a kite! Alexis flew her Elmo kite from Aunt Kathey.

The first batch of fish... The picture is deceiving... the bucket is actually the size of a swimming pool and those fish are the size of dolphins.

Funny story to share... my cousin Kevin was there, and he is 6 years old. I was talking to him when we were about to leave, and I told him that my Mom wanted to go before the mosquitoes came out. He looked shocked and said "Your Mom is here??!!?" So I told him that Aunt Jean is my Mom... and he still looked shocked... so then I said that Scott is my brother... to which he replied "You've gotta be kidding me!!" He had a similar conversation with Scott earlier in the day. I guess adults just take for granted that kids understand all of the family relationships!
