Adventures With Dad

Well, Today was actually a fairly relaxing day for us.

We walked down the road a bit, and the kids fished.  They didn’t really catch anything for a few hours, but then a little boy walked over.  He didn’t speak english, and was likely about 10.  He told them they should be using works, which we all knew, but the girls don’t like handling, so we didn’t.

Anyway, he hung out for a few mins and then he left.  ABout 5 mins later, he came back with a tray full of worms for the girls.  Gina was bored anyway, having caught nothing for hours, so she gave him the rod.  5 mins later he pulled one in.  It was REALLY little, but the excitement was immediate.

The boy took the fish home to scare his sister (Boys rule!)  And the girls forgot to be afraid of the worms.

5 mins later, Melanie had caught one, and the boy was coming back with a pail thing, his little bro, and his sister.

I broke some treebranches for the three of them, and took some of the girls line, and pretty soon everyone was catching fish.  Fish might be a stretch, but it’s just fun to pull them out and that they did.  Again and again.

Nobody in the family there spoke English, so it was a good way for the girls now to want to use their French.  Which was great to see.

After a few hours, and 17 “fish” we came back as the campground was having a BBQ fundraiser thing to raise money to send kids to camp.  So we went.  Ate too many burgers.

Had a relaxing evening listening to a couple from Alberta who couldn’t stop talking.

I should mention, we took Jazzy to the vet this AM.  She’s been sick lately, but is clearly on the mend now, but with poo, puke and blood on the floor this AM, we took her in.  We all finally like her, it’d be a shame if she croaked.

The couple at the campground just gave us keys to their car to take her.  They’ve been WAY beyond what could be expected.  This was amazing.  I’d highly recommend staying here.  West Montreal KOA.

Tomorrow, I’ll be busy building a new network for a new client of ours.  So I’ll be working like a dog for a few days.  Hopefully it’ll be all good for Monday, we’ll see.

This is short, but it’s late.  I ust wanted to post something at least.

Over and out.
