Thanksgiving '08










I love that they all took turns petting a DEAD pheasant!


Huddy got a four-wheeler ride with Grandpa!





We were one of those lucky families that got to travel this year for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to not have to worry about paying over $3.00 in gas this year! The boys were really good this time. Everytime we go back or even travel anywhere I notice how they do better and better with age. (Duh!) And then I think to myself, "what have we done???" We are going to have another baby and start all over again!
I thought I would just post a few pics from our long weekend in Iowa. The highlight of the trip was that Kaden got to go pheasant hunting with my dad and brother. He really didn't get to "hunt", it was more him walking along side Grandpa and the dogs. He saw his uncle Zack get a pheasant and he said, "it was SO awesome!". I was a little nervous of what he was going to think of it considering the night before he was laying next to me in bed and said, "Mom, do I have to shoot an animal tomorrow when I go hunting?" Well...that is kind of the idea of hunting! He did awesome and some good memories were made. I grew up with hunting. My dad lives and breathes the sport. My grandfather owned a sporting goods shop and also was a die-hard hunter. I know my dad wants to keep the tradition going especially since he knows that WE aren't going to be taking them out hunting!
