Last week we went to Skiff Lake on Saturday for a week at the lake. With snacks galore, a t.v & dvd player for the lazy nights (thanks Tarek!), sunshiny days in the water and an overnight trip to Bangor Monday/Tuesday. Our vacation was a success. To top the week off for Pete, he caught his first landlock salmon ever at Skiff on Thursday evening...well actually he caught one Wednesday evening but the line was so thin when he reeled it in so close to his hands it snapped and bye, bye fishy along with the hook! Needless to say Thursday day we took a trip over to Houlton so he could purchase a few more hooks and a giant net! Ava & I were in the boat Thursday after supper when Pete reeled in the big Salmon. 27 inches long and about 9lbs. Can you say Happy Man!!!

Ava loved splashing in the water and throwing rocks over ansd over in the water. She loved going out for boat rides ans trying to fish like Daddy! Here are some pics from the vacation.
