We spent a superbly relaxing long week-end with friends of ours at their cottage. Kids were having a time of their life! Kaspar got a fishing rod from them as a belated birthday gift and that was pretty much attached to his hip for the entire week-end. As soon as he woke up, even before getting out of his pajamas he'd ask : "Can I go fishing NOW?" We were fishing with worms and leaches and "stinky fish" ... casting and trolling and just sitting on the end of the dock. I learned a thing or two myself. Stella also tried fishing, but her attention span lasted just long enough to sink the fishing rod to the bottom of the lake.However, where Stella lacks patience she makes up in imagination. She played "duck" with garden gloves as "duck feet" (note: picture!) and fell asleep in the boat and went swimming, but somehow got away with never wetting herself above waist level. Such a perfect week-end!
