Living the life of leisure

We're staying at Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Bill's house on Van Bibber Lake for the holiday along with a fair complement of the family, and as always, we're managing to occupy our time. After getting showered with baby gifts yesterday (thanks so much everybody!!) and eating all the festive American holiday foods we could stand (mm, watermelon), today it was time to really relax. Jason brought his fishing gear and was kind enough to offer to teach his niece how to use it, so while Mom and Dad sat around chewing the fat with the relatives, Uncle Jason, Aunt Jennifer, and Aisie went down to the pond to try their hands at fishing the behemoths of the deep that reside in the pond over the dam.

I wasn't there to witness it, but Aislin was apparently a downright natural, casting well enough to put the adults to shame and catching a fish almost every time she tossed her line into the water. Here she demonstrates her form:

Good thing we've got uncles around to teach her the really important stuff.
