Exciting Saturday!!!

Jamie had her first AAU Volleyball tournament and got first place in it - since they won they qualified for the state tournament on March 29 in Marshalltown, IA. They were extremely excited about that and they played very well. She will have a tournament almost every Saturday until then so they will get lots of practice in before then.

Mike shot his first fox this day also - he has trapped some before but this is the first one he shot. He went out early looking for coyote and seen one but it was 3/4 mile away and he spotted this fox in a bean field about 200 yards away sitting in the sun - he took a shot at it and it ran 100 feet and did a flip and dropped. It is a very nice red color and its features are quite neat - the dark feet and ears really stand out on this one - I felt a little funny taking his picture at first because I told him that it looked alot like him holding Paco (our dog). The fox is now hanging in front of our house and Paco has fun barking at it and sniffing ar0und it also.

Wow! At first glance I thought, What the heck did poor Paco do to upset Mike soooo bad.

Good job Jamie. Sounds like a lot of fun ahead.
