The last few days I have been fulfilling my commitment to running. Amber had me doing lunges (which I swear I am going to feel in my legs for the rest of my life)! I am finally able to run again and was brave enough to run alone this afternoon. Through the bear infested road, I scared them off with my terrible singing and heavy breathing. ha ha ha....they are only black bears anyways. I actually have yet to go to the dump to see the bears there, but I have seen pictures. The kids have them all named "bruzer" is one, and I can't remember the other....
Yesterday I went fishing with peter who works for guest services/guiding! It was a lot of fun. I have been going out with him as a mock guest so he can get more experience on the lake. We were having bad luck for a while but after about half an hr we starting catching fish like CRAZY! I caught a 25.5 inch walleye!!!!! It was so much fun to reel in, and it was amazing to see- such a gorgeous fish!
25.5 inch walleye :) biggest fish yet (such a windy picture)
Speaking of fishing- I somehow got suckered into buying myself a st. croix rod. The boys here told me which one would work out best for me and I spent about $100 on a rod that has a lifetime warranty. I am pretty stoked about ti because apparently its a great brand and the retail value is about $200. Not to mention is a 2 piece rod so I can take it up north with me and have it for myself. I am still going to talk to mike about buying a shimano reel off of him. I can not wait to have my own equipment and be able to take myself out fishing. I have already learned how to put on a minnow and how to tie my own jigs on a line. I forget the name of the knot but my goal is to learn a bunch over the summer. I am also slowly learning to not be scared of the fish and to learn how to take them out of the water without getting my hands ripped to shreds. I know the logistics of the whole thing and where to pick them up but I'm a huge chicken when it comes to that kind of stuff. I am going to fish off the dock by myself sometime soon so that I have no choice but to do it alone and not ask one of the boys for help "sink or swim" is what I say.....I
Other than that news- there is nothing much new with me. I believe on my next day off I'm not really taking a day off. Instead I am letting Jessica have a day off (the nanny) and I am taking over her role for the day as nanny!! I am pretty excited because I am going to be like the fun loving aunt that spoils them rotten! I am already planning fun activities like a scavenger hunt, Tye dying or paper mache.....we'll see which one pulls through!
Anyways, its almost 4 here so I am going to head back up to my cabin and watch a movie.
Cheers :)
