Butterfly



Yesterday the butterfly we have been keeping hatched! ( Mom has a picture of when they were caterpillars: http://www.minnesotamama.blogspot.com/) I was out on the porch when it flew away. 




This is the video of it flying away. Sorry that you don't see it flying much. I'm new to this video stuff. Trying to get better! :)

My Biggest Fish Ever!!!

Last week I went fishing with my friend Sam. We went out on the Mississippi River and were fishing for Northern Pikes. I had a few leaps for a buzz bait early on. ( Buzz Bait: A lure for fishing that makes a buzzing noise to attract fish on the top of the water.) And finally, after almost 3 hours of fishing I got a Northern on my line. I pulled it to the boat, Sam netted it, and then we measured it and took a few pictures.

      The Pike was 30 inches long and weighed apx. 8 pounds. That was the biggest fish of my life! I was very happy!
