I just realized looking at our blog that I never wrote about the Annual Palacios Fishing Tournament we go to every year! Well, I will make it short and sweet!
The Palacios Fishing Tournament is always on Saturday right before school starts in August. We load up the camper on Friday and head to Serendipity in Palacios. We love to stay at Serendipity! There is a lot of people from E.C. that keep their campers down there year round and they also have kids around the same age as Rhea and Jake. Friday night we sign-in and they have a Shrimporee for us. Saturday is when we can officially start fishing starting at 4am until 6pm. Weight-in starts around 3pm and you have to finish checking everything in by 6pm. We have a friend of ours take us out on his boat early in the morning, and the kids we stay with SoSo and fish at the Turning Basin and at Aunt Mary Kay and Uncle Tommy's pier.
We left Saturday morning around 5:45 - 6:00. It was beautiful to see the sun rise. We didn't catch much, but Jonathan did bring in a good one! We headed back in around 1:45. We got back to camp and took a quick dip in the pool to cool off! It was so HOT!!! (Usually I will take my shirt off and fish with my bathing suit on. But not this time, it was so HOT I was afraid to take off my shirt, I might reallllllly Burn Up!) We met the kids at the Turning Basin and fished for just a little bit and everyone came back to camp. The rest of the time we had left we fished off the pier at Serendipity. That is where Rhea and Daddy caught the prize winning Hardhead! A little while later we all went to go check-in. The kids turned in a little bit of everything. And me and Jonathan turned in whatever we had! The RESULTS.....................................

| Rheanna got 2nd place on her Hardhead! |

| Jacob got 4th place on his Pinfish! |

| Jonathan and I got 3rd place in Family Division!! |
We all did GREAT!! Rheanna received a trophy and bait bucket aerator. Jacob received a trophy and a net. And Jonathan and I won $75.00 ...........Which pretty much paid for our trip down there. LOL!
When we got back to Serendipity the kids kept seeing jellyfish, so they took their nets at set out to catch jellyfish. They caught lots of jellyfish and knew every species name too! I guess they did learn a lot at the Aquarium this Summer!
