Trout Fishing

Thomas loves fishing in our neighbor’s pond.  He has learned to fight the fish, pulling up on the line, and keeping the tension, I don’t have to do a thing, just cast and hand him the rod.

Shhhhh, We’re Hunting Wabbit.

Going through our pictures, and wanted to share this one...

Jim and I had been practicing with our compound bows in the backyard. Our boys came out to watch and really wanted to go hunt some rabbits... So off we set about our back paddock and were rewarded with finding a rather large rabbit.

Thomas and Damien had no hold backs about picking up the rabbit. In fact, Thomas rushed over and picked it right up without hesitation whatsoever. We are proud… we used to wonder how we would introduce the boys into hunting… we don’t any longer. We got back in, and what were Gregory and Thomas doing on the living room floor? pretending they had just harvested a rabbit and were field dressing it.

A classic moment in the life of boys.

Becca on the other hand, did not appreciate being chased around the yard by her son carrying a rather large rabbit. She stepped out of the house and there was her son, beaming into her eyes with pride, presenting her with a dead rabbit .... Thomas then learned what it means to scream like a girl. Priceless.
