Picnics, football, fishing and fun

Friday, Harper was encouraged to invite a couple of people to join her at lunch time for a "picnic on the playground."   She really wanted Saige to come eat with her.  A couple others also joined her.  They had a great turn out for this fun lunch.  
Friday evening we headed to Anderson county to watch Colin's team. 
They played hard but we're not victorious.  
Mike Beckmann took these amazing photos.  I appreciate his photography skill.  
This morning, Preston had a game.  I was on football duty as Jim and the girls were going to the Overbrook fishing derby and we worried that Preston would be late.  Our worries came to be...as the fields were running far behind today.  Preston's game started an hour and 20 minutes late.  
Preston's team also was not victorious.  They tried hard though.  Preston played really well. I was proud of him for continuing to work hard even with a disheartening lopsided score.  
I managed to meet up with Jim and the girls at the derby.  Unfortunately, Preston only got to fish for a few minutes before the time was up.  
Jim and the girls had a great day fishing though!  Quincy landed a couple of really nice fish. 
And Harper caught this 2.9 pound thing which helped her a lot. 
Harper placed 2nd in her age group for biggest fish.  
The event is so nice.  All the kids get prizes and we actually walked away with 3 nice new poles.  Saige won a water bottle.  She has never been happier to win!  
Because Preston was late and didn't get much fishing time, Jim took Preston and Quincy fishing after the tournament.  Quincy was sorry she didn't catch this big guy during the derby, but was happy to land him!  
My boys are all goofy.   Preston was recreating a photo I have of Colin around this age.  
Meanwhile, Cameron was busy making new weird family photos.  Look close, and you will see a copperhead. Yea that is my kid sitting in the middle of a gravel road with venomous snake.  Colin ran over it on their way home from work.  Life is no good unless you photograph your road kills. I blame their father.
