A spontaneous fishing trip occurred this weekend. Friday, Tracy called and invited Lexie and I to join them at Horning's Hideout for a fishing trip with Cub Scout troop 819. It's a stocked fishing lake. We had a blast. Lexie's been fishing in Alaska, but that was quite a while ago. We rented her a pole (.50!) and away we went. She caught for trout! She was so exited. Happy and scared at the same time. Each time we would reel one in on her pole, she would start screaming. They actually have RV camping there also. We are definitely going back!

All I want for Christmas
Lexie lost her first tooth! One of the bottom front teeth. She got a five dollar bill folded into a bow tie from the tooth fairy.
Lex is really enjoying school and Y Camp. Today we took in a large box of her old toys that Lex and Grammy packed up earlier this year, and took it to the Y. We had our first open house last week. I really like her school, and her teacher. Looks like I'll get to be a parent helper the second Friday of each month starting in November. I'm pretty excited about it. Yesterday when I picked Lexie up she told me that a gril said Lexie's necklace wasn't pretty, said her pet rock (class project) was ugly, and when Lexie tried to talk to her, the girl stuck her fingers in her ears and sang, na-na-na-na-na-na. Mother instinct kicked in and when she pointed the girl out to me...I actually glared at her! Then I thought, "get a grip Rachel!" I told Lex that her opinion didn't really matter, and if she does it again, just walk away. Lex wasn't really upset about it, but it is the first time she's complained to me about a conflict she has with a peer.
Mondays are still Grammy days. Grammy comes over early in the morning, takes Lexie to school and picks her up. Last Monday after school they went back up to Yamhill for the afternoon. What a treat!

Camping cold
I got a cold last Wednesday night, one day before our camping trip. The whole weekend I pretty much forgot I even had the cold, but the moment we got back home it's been worse. I want to go back to the fresh air some more!
Lexie had a great time! She met new friends the first night. We relaxed while she played, swam, had fun. The weather was terrific. It was a great trip, but too short.
