Fishing Contest for the grandchildren...there are a lot of pictures in this posting

The kiddos were all in a fishing contest. (All but baby Jack of course) It was a beautiful day weather wise. I picked grandpa up as he was excited about getting to watch the kids fish. We had lots of fun. The kids each got a free fishing pole and a free lunch. They had fun catching fish. Jacob was the most patient. He would just sit there for the longest time. He even caught fish when he laid his pole down. They all put their fish in their bucket and took them to be measured. They also got to paint fish on their white shirts they brought. Messy, but fun was the word for that.
The top prize was a charter boat trip. We were so surprised when they drew Max's name for that. Bruce will love going with him for that. They gave many prizes away. Jared won a hat with fish on it. Adam and Jacob had lots of fun playing under the picnic tables. Max and Jacob were buddies. They played ring around the rosie and played in the stones. Jacob and Adam opened their birthday presents from Aunt Vikki and Uncle Terry. They were so exicted about the cars, jammies and it was so cute because Jacob came running with the sunscreen and said "Look mommy, sunscreen for the beach". He was so excited to get sunscreen. Then they got umbrellas from Aunt Missy, Uncle Bruce, Hailey, Max and Jack. They loved those too. They are so thankful for whatever they get. I love how all my grandkids appreciate everything they get. Grandpa said it was a very nice day for him. Kenzie and I went back to the beach later, but it turned cool and the wind picked up so we didn't go in the water. Bill and I went on a date night when we got home. We went to an outlet mall and went shopping. Also went out to dinner. We had fun and found lots of good deals.
