Up North

We had a fabulous trip "up north"! Kaylynn told Grandpa that her favorite part was the fishing - that made him smile!! In all, we kept 78 sun fish (about half of which we ate while we were there) and 5 walleye. We caught MANY more that we threw back so it was a fun and successful fishing trip! Kaylynn also enjoyed chasing the ducks and riding on the paddle boat too. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Here she is with her Barbie fishing pole and life jacket.


Reeling in her first fish.


It's a keeper (for sentimental reasons!)!!


She was a little more brave on her second catch and would hold this one by herself.


Look at this nice bass she caught. She didn't want to touch this one - it was too big!

Cruising around on the boat. She liked to drive fast!


Playing on the beach.


The ducks really enjoyed when she fed them ...



but were not too sure about the sport of chasing!


Building a sand castle with Grandpa.


Paddle boating. She kept saying "I want to go faster!" Mine and Grandma's legs do not move that fast!


Oh, and I can't forget the reason we have all these great lakes, Paul Bunyan. No Babe though.

Were you guys up near Lake Bemidji or Akeley? I distinctly remember going to those places and having my photo taken in front of a Paul Bunyan statue. But then again in Minnesota probably every town had a giant statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe. So far Kaylynn has caught more fish while on a fishing trip than Michael!
