Fishing & Flicks

This morning was a bit cool and dreary, but not bad weather for fishing, so after getting our license and bait at Froggy's, we finally headed out for the Potato Islands area by late morning. We only stayed out a couple of hours, as it started to get windy and looked like it was going to rain. We managed to catch about 10 perch (3 of them 11-inch ones), in our little trip, so we felt like we did okay. Seth and Leah came with us, and while Seth immediately got back in the groove of fishing, Leah had a harder time. It may take her awhile to remember why she thinks fishing is fun, as right now she claims it is "boring."

Everyone (Deb & Roy’s family, Beth & Bill’s family, and us) all headed out to the movie theatre in Bemidji for the 5:00 shows due to the rain which did eventually come. By the time we arrived at the theatre, it was pouring buckets, just like last year! The girls, moms, plus William & Zachary, saw "Kit Kitredge, an American Girl," while the men and older boys saw "Get Smart." Everyone enjoyed their shows (the guys really came out laughing!). In the evening, some went out fishing (the rain had cleared), while others hung out at the lodge watching more movies (or blogging!), and others simply stayed in their cabins to read and relax.
