A Nice afternoon and a fish story

Sunday afternoon found us all with nothing to do at the same time (a rare occurrence these days) so we decided to get slurpees and go for a drive.

We ended up at the causeway on Rafferty Dam (north of Torquay).  We sat on the rocks and enjoyed the sun and the sound of the water.  Here are some shots......

Water (rare in southern Saskatchewan)

Megan found a fossil in the rocks of the rip wrap.  Very cool.....

And this is Katelyn..... she is holding a dead fish on a stick

Katelyn has always been "fishing challenged".  Every time we go fishing, everyone catches one but her.  One time she was helping me land a fish that I caught, hit it with the net and "released" it.  So she was quite excited to find a dead, half rotted, mostly head, scales and guts fish laying on the rocks.  It meant that she could catch it with a stick (but that is not the end of the story nor is it the story of this picture).

With great dramatic flair (if you can imagine Katie being dramatic - just try).... she announced that she was going to release the dead fish back into his natural habit.  Then she took the stick.... swung the fish around..... and heaved it toward the water..... only to have it get caught on the stick..... fly up into the air.... almost land directly in her hair..... and eventually fall to the ground wrapping itself around her leg.

The picture above is the result of Katie releasing a dead fish..... (ask her about the maggots sometime).  :)

Ahhh - the memories!!!
