One of the more illustrious things about our small town is that we really go all out for the 4th of July. It's basically 4 days of games, events, booze and food.
This year, Delilah is finally able to participate in the Scrap Fish Derby, where the kids use hand-lines to catch fish, and the biggest one wins a prize. When J was a kid, this was his very favorite event, and he claims that he almost always won. In order to carry on the family tradition of victory, he decided that he and Delilah should go to the dock tonight to practice.
She was so excited, and kept saying how she was going to catch a "big one" and win the prize. When we got down to the dock and met J, who was just coming back from a bear guiding trip, she was super gung-ho about catching a fish. Within less than a minute she had a bite and J started to help her pull the fish up, where she proceeded to surprise both of us, by running away. She honestly ran all the way up the ramp screaming that the fish was "flopping" at her.
We tried hard, but we couldn't get her to come back down the ramp, so I got a lovely video of J holding the fish...
