Ava showing off Daddy's King Salmon from Chitina

It is bigger than Ava!!!

Taller than her too!

The "babies" were keeping her entertained while we cleaned and packaged the rest of the catch. She gave them a bath, let them swim in a dish and wrapped them up in our kitchen towels even. She had a good bath when we were all done.
