Fishing tournament

Yesterday even though it was raining Gerard, Chippy (also know as Papa), Eddie, AM,La-La and Jimmy went fishing in a tournament for the Sunshine Foundation. The Sunshine Foundation helps children and their families who have cancer or other medical issues. Even though no keepers were caught we decided to go to the after party anyway.

The after party is what I like the most because there are raffles and a 50/50. Last year Gerard won a whole skin care line of products for me. We saw one or two friends that we do not see often and who did not realize we have a baby girl so that was neat too. The party was held at one of the marinas in town.

We won a deluxe crab trap which we will put to use later this summer. I love crabs an so does Anna. Of course when you are near a marina there is water everywhere. At one point Gerard walked Anna way so that she could do a little running around. Straight through the puddle she went and I caught him encouraging her so what is a Mother to do? Take a picture of course.



Anna enjoyed playing with her Papa, Grand Mother, Uncle Eddie and Aunt AM too. Fun was had by all.



Later that night we took Hans and Anna to LBI to Fantasy Island so we could take them on a few rides. Anna is still talking about riding the bee high in the air. Anna tried cotton candy for the first time. So many first I can hardly believe that we are coming up on a year since she has been home. This has been one amazing weekend.

Troy would love to do a fishing tournament! Congrats on the deluxe crab trap! We used to crab at my grandparents house on the eastern shore of Maryland, but we used line and chicken necks and caught them with nets - it was sooo much fun!!

Anna is as adorable as ever!
