Teresa's First Fish!

For Jeff & Katie's wedding we needed a babysitter so we could stay past 9:00 without crazy-manic-poo-flinging-monkey-children emerging from our otherwise placid young daughters like Gremlins emerging from Mogwai*.   Ray and Myrna volunteered to take them for a long weekend at the "trabin", getting them on Friday and we picked them up on the Monday.

When we arrived Monday we learned many things.  I cannot pack to Myrna's satisfaction. Teresa and Frances cannot open and close screen doors quickly enough to Myrna's satisfaction.  Teresa and Frances must rinse off all sand from the bodies before coming in from the lake in order to be up to Myrna's satisfaction.  If you wish to use the same water glass all day, expect to have it washed three or four times even after you indicate to Myrna it is unnecessary.**

Most importantly though during their time out there Teresa caught her first fish with her flashing Disney Princess fishing rod.  A little perch that ate a wormed hook from off the dock by Ray's boat.  Ray said it was only a couple of feet down and he could see it testing it out the whole time.  While it would have been great to try her first fish the fillets would have been tiny and such the little guy (or gal) was released.

* No, I could not type that with a straight face.
** Uh, hi Myrna...  Um, this is awkward...  You check the blog eh?  Have you seen your cute grandkids?  Exeunt 


The intrepid fisherman (fisher-girl?  How PC am I supposed to be now?) and her catch.

Admiring it from up close. What a cutie.
