Teach a Girl to Fish....

Last weekend, we went out on Auntie Kathy and Uncle Peter's boat and the girls had such a great time. Although she caught almost twenty fish (maybe more!), Elizabeth couldn't be satisfied and as soon as they released a fish, she was relentless about going after the next one. Emily, on the other hand, was more than happy to sit back and take it all in - sharing some snacks with Auntie Kathy, of course. Each time Elizabeth caught a fish, she would check it out and pet it (yikes!), but then head back to her seat to watch. Both girls got junior marine badges from the water patrol and both girls were very into the fish, turtles, loons and other boats that we saw. All in all, a successful outing!

Who is more excited about the first catch of the day? Elizabeth or Uncle Peter?
She was so engrossed in the fishing that we all thought that she might fall out of the boat!!

Boy, it's hot out here when you have to wear a life jacket!!

Elizabeth was so wiped out, she fell asleep on my lap on the way back to the shore.
