Red Fish Lake

Ahhhhh.......Red Fish !! We look forward to it every year--and this year was as spectacular as ever ! We were three fewer as far as family members go. Spencer and Alli and Aaron were not able to be with us this year. We did miss them--but we did not let that stop our fun ! The lake did not break the ice until May 19th this year---so needless to say--the water was very, very cold this year. We were not as brave and daring as usual because of the colder temperatures. But we did enjoy kayaking; paddle boating; catching fish and just sitting on the dock. Marmoo--the one terribly afraid of water--over came a fear of hers this year, too. She jumped from the dock into the lake--and we are not talking the wading section of the lake ! NO ! We are talking --the over-the-head-section of the lake ! Thanks to Pattycakes hand-holding and convincing talks--Marmoo jumped into the water and actually did not drown ! She nearly drowned Pattycakes instead attempting to get out of the water ! Poor Pattycakes--what a trooper he was. And now--Christopher---I did it !!!! So there !!!

Sadly, the farthest I went in the water WAS just about to my knee pits...
