Busy time of the year, this is! But we love it! Full of fun, family traditions & yummy food! Chris has decided that they boys are getting to the time in their lives where they venture into the hunting aspect of life. Not merely for sport, but for food. We would never kill anything that we didn't intend to recycle into sustenance for our family. Afterall, the is the intended life cycle by God, who provides us with the animals in the 1st place! Any way, Zack & Aaron take turns going with dad & it was Aaron's turn on the bitterly cold morning on Wednesday, November 19, 2008. It was about 24 degrees (with a wind chill in the teens) and they had been out in the woods for about an hour & Chris had not 10 minutes prior reveiwed the sighting-in & shooting lesson, when all of a sudden Aaron spotted 2 deer about 180 yards away. Well, Chris, assuming there'd be no way Aaron could possibly hit one of them, gave the go-ahead for Aaron to take a shot. Well, he shot & in fact, did hit the deer, only missing the heart by about 3 inches. The Lord has definately blessed Aaron with the gifts of good eyesight & a steady hand. So, needless to say, Aaron has been on top of the world since then...now he wants one with big horns...along with Zack! Hopefully, we'll be boasting, in a meager way, of Zack's 1st deer in the next few weeks. Enjoy the pictures & until the next deer story.....God Bless!
