Well, it's been another busy week here. On Monday we went to "Z" Pizza for a fundraiser for our Relay team. On Thursday we went out to dinner for Jamie's Bday. Yesterday we went to Justin's school for the Cowboy Roundup. Last night, Jamie & I went out to the Durham Bulls home opener. We met up with a couple of our Michigan comrades. We had a great time. The weather was great & somebody actually hit the bull with a homerun ball. I'm not sure, but I think they get free steaks for a year.
Today was the big day. We woke up bright & early. Packed up the boy's tackle boxes & their new rod & reels from santa and headed over to Lake Pine for the annual Apex fishing derby. The day looked very promising. Both boys had a great 1st cast (they must get that from their grandpa) and Justin had a bite on his first cast. Then it slowed down. Justin would get a bite here & there, but just couldn't land a fish. Owen's frustrations were showing and his patience was being tested. Then, in a matter of a couple of minutes he landed two fish. The 1st fish was small, only 5 inches, but the second one was a whopping 5.5 inches. It fought hard and Owen's hard work paid off. If you look closely in the picture you can barely see it. He was awarded 1st place for the largest fish in his age division. He was very excited. He was also offered a sponsorship from Pro Bass. After we have our attorney review the contract we will decide if we should let him sign on.
After the big morning we went to Justin's friends b-day party. Now I think I'm just going to relax a bit.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteFirst Guitar Hero, then drawing, then hockey, and now you have gotten better than me at fishing too... I guess I'll just have to start learning things from you and your brother. Just, are there any other grals in your class, I only saw three. I bet they fight over who gets to be your gral friend. You guys look awesome and like the ball game was cool. Love and miss you all very much.
