The Davis Family: "Hearts Apart" Fishing Rodeo

Skyler, Chase and Bryce

Memorial Day weekend we went with some friends to a military family fishing rodeo. The "rodeo" was put on by a military group for families who have deployed spouses. Our friend Lori's husband Den is currently deployed and so is our friend Sharri's husband, Steve...not much longer though, Steve gets to reunite with his family later this week after 15 months of being deployed! So Chase was filling in the role as father figure for Steve and Sharri's son Skyler and for Den and Lori's boys, Bryce and Blake. We had a really great time catching fish and just enjoying the beautiful day! Our "team" caught 13 fish, which was the most, AND we also won first prize for the biggest fish caught...I think he was 12 lbs and 11 ozs?!? We left all the fish unattended, on the stringer, in the water so we could go eat and so that the boys could go get their prize for the biggest fish. Skyler walked back down to the water to check on the fish and they were gone!! Somehow they had squirmed their way loose, but luckily were all still on the stringer a few feet away in the water. Chase hooked the stringer and pulled them back in! Whew! We also saw a BIG snake swimming right at the water where we were fishing!! We had such a great time! I have posted some pictures to share!!
