Opening Weekend....

Brenda invited us down to their ranch for the Labor Day Weekend and the first weekend of dove season. The kids were SO excited to see a new ranch and spend a weekend with friends. Their ranch is way down south...about 30 miles from Mexico! Hot hot hot!!! But they have a pool, which helps!!!

We spent the weekend swimming, shooting and having fun!!! I'm sure we had the cutest bunch of hunters around!!!

Sophia is quite the shot!!! She hits the target every time!!!! Mike was so patient and helped all the kids. We're working hard to help the kids love hunting and being outdoors...and to be knowledge, respectful and S-A-F-E with guns.
 

Brenda's parents have golf carts to drive around the ranch. The kids love taking turns driving!!!
Jake and Chase both got their first dove. So excited!!!! Their little faces were priceless when they came through the brush holding their first bird!!!


Rylie, Sophia and Joshua took turns shagging birds for Mike! Favorite line from the hunt....Mike yelling at them "Don't worry...there will be another half dead bird for you to pick up." That sounds so wrong!!!



And this picture from the way back to the house after hunting (I know it's blurry!!). Rylie is driving. Sophia sitting beside her with a dove in hand. Little afraid of what the future might hold for these two girls!!! :)
