Logan asked if he could celebrate his birthday early this year so he could take advantage of squirrel season. All this almost 10 year old boy wants is to go hunting. He has been researching the perfect hunting rifle for 3 months and has his heart set on a Ruger 10/22 Takedown. (Take down in that you can break it down for cleaning and storage.) We made him wait until February 1st before giving him his new rifle. At least this way it's still in his birthday month! : )
My baby is growing up so fast!
We took the boy and his gun out to Grandpa's woods for some target practice. So far the only thing he has killed is some paper targets but he is not discouraged. Soon he will know the unique flavor of squirrel meat since we have a rule that if you kill it you have to eat it and this boy will not give up on his dream.
After target practice we played on the ice in Grandpa's creek. No fancy playground for these kiddos is needed. Frozen water, fallen tree, a stick and some rocks is all they need for entertainment.
Then the snow kept falling and falling and falling. 5 SNOW DAYS IN A ROW! We were slugs hanging around the house until the streets were clear enough to brave the snow hill.
Thankfully other kids were able to get out and pack down the snow for us!
