Gone Hunting!

Ever since we first got married, Roy always talked about how he couldn't wait to take his kids hunting one day. Each Labor Day weekend, he gets invited to a local dove hunt. Last year, he took Caroline and this year, Caroline and Roy Austin went. The kids couldn't wait for September 3rd to arrive--Caroline was dressed in her jeans and camo at 7:30 (the hunt started at 1:00), but ROY was so happy:) He couldn't wait to take the kids.





After a BBQ lunch and saftey talk, my hunters hit the field. One of Caroline's favorite things to do on the dove hunt is play with the corn in the field nearby:



Sweet RoyBoy:

Here they are with some of the birds they got. Roy said that when he'd shoot a bird, it would fall from the sky and the kids would take off like dogs to find it.




Dove hunting RULES! When they got home at 7:00, they were WILD. They had a blast and they have asked Roy several times already if they can go tomorrow.


Can't wait for Dove Hunt 2012!!

Looks like it was a beautiful day for a dove hunt....I loved seeing the pictures. This is something they'll never forget, and look forward to each year. BTW, who's their big black friend?

I can definitely tell how excited Roy was. I guess the equivalent for me will be taking my kids to their first Clemson game!
