Hunting Excursion

My two handsome hunters.

It was Shannon's turn to attempt a hunting trip with his daddy, and after much preparation (thanks, Colleen,) Shannon ran out the door screaming, "This is the BEST day EVER!" He had on three shirts, a heavy camouflage jacket, jeans, snow pants, two pairs of socks, boots, a hat and two pairs of gloves. To entertain himself, Shannon brought along a wooden snake and Spiderman.

Apparently Shannon and Ken had a great father/son chat along the way... Shannon really does like girls and he likes them blond. "But don't tell anyone, promise, Dad?"

Arriving near their destination, they trekked about a quarter mile into a cornfield to get to their spot and all went well until Shannon decided it was snack time. Snack time just happened to coincide with the rustle of deer movement, and it all went south from there. The boys were back in the car heading home before dusk began to fall.

Needless to say, they were both frustrated with each other by the time they got home. All Shannon had to say by this point was, "This was the WORST day EVER and it's all DAD'S fault!"

Sister, you are so right. They are so impressionable, and soaking up the world at those young ages.
