Fishin Derby

A couple of weeks ago Heidi and Tyler invited us to a fishing derby put on by their financial planners at a private pond outside of Eltopia. It was a beautiful way to spend a Saturday morning and the girls had a blast.

Kennedy needed a little help baiting her hook but other than that, she caught her 5 fish limit all on her own. 

I love this picture because she just so peaceful, content, and patient!

Even when fishin, she knows how to strike a pose.

 Isabella had a short attention span for fishing.  I did alot of chasing her around the pond while she explored.  Fortunately, this place was full of fun things for her to do. 

Don't judge a lawnchair swing by its cover...this was surprisingly comfortable.

Writing our names in dirt.  Do you remember being able to sit like this for extended periods of time?  I sure don't.

 Both girls got to take home prizes, Isabella picked a new fishing pole and Kennedy got a new fold-up chair in her favorite color, orange.

This was my first year going and I can see why the kids like it so much.  It was a fun morning in fresh air.  Thanks to Aunt Heidi and Uncle Tyler for the invite - the girls had a great time.

But all's that well doesn't always end so well....We sorta forgot these fish were in the back of Limo Family Truck when we got back home for about 3 days.  You cannot possibly imagine (unless this has happened to you) how seriously bad the smell was.  Shane says he "Grumpier Old Men'd" his own truck.  I laugh just thinking about it - seriously - it was bad.
