2nd Annual DoLittle Fishing Tournament

The Eversmeyer's hosted the second fishing derby last weekend.  I wasn't sure I was going to go, as I'm not quite the fisherman and Mike wasn't going to be able to go since it was the week before the big test.  We decided to go and glad we did!  Everyone had a great time.  Grandma and Grandpa Farm just had to help "assist" our little fishermen.
I wasn't too worried about anything except taking the fish off the hook.  Grandma Farm and I managed that too, with a little teamwork.  Peyton caught 7 fish and had a great time, she truly enjoys it (definitely gets that from her father).  Jack caught two fish with "significant" help from mom and grandma but was more interested in eating snacks (definitely his mother's child!).

The trophy winners this year were:

• Biggest fish - Josie Eversmeyer
• Most fish -  Desi Eversmeyer
• Smallest Fish - Wyatt Schuette (the returning champ from last year)

Peyton was disappointed that she went home trophy-less again!  I'm thinking next year is her year!  She was an ole pro by the end of Sat.  She was casting her own line, watching her own line, and hooking and reeling when necessary.  She was even baiting her own hook......not too shabby for a city girl.

The kids also enjoyed water balloons, sprinkler, food, and smores at the bonfire.  Peyton was pissed that she didn't get to camp with Josh's girls.  I told her that we don't camp without a Daddy, that she could camp next time.....she wasn't impressed.  But we did go back to the farm and sleep and rejoined everyone for breakfast the next morning.

Thank you Uncle Gary and Aunt Toni, great time!!!

Peyton's first catch of the day....a LEAF!

You know that Mom had him fishing and not Dad, he had to pose
with the fish on the ground instead of in his hand!

Getting set up for the balloon toss

Love the facial expressions on both of them!  I'm pretty sure Jack missed this one.

Lastly, a video of the balloon toss, LOVE the way Jack is laughing at the end when the balloon pops on Owen.  Don't know if Owen found it funny, but Jack sure did!
