Survival

Yes, I survived spring vacation!!! Once the boys got over the fact that EVERYONE was away but them, we had a good time. Mostly we did yard work, but the good kind. Planting flowers. They actually are good at helping me do that. They also rode their motorcycles a lot. One day we had a great day going for a ride in the afternoon. It was about a 4 hour ride. They took me to see all the cool sights and views that they found with eachother throughout the week. We even had a picnic up on a mountain.

At night, the boys and husband went back into the woods to turkey hunt. Yes, that's right, turkey hunt. Husband and little son had gone to Cabella's and there was a demonstration on how to turkey hunt and had to deal with the turkey after you kill it. They came home with turkey callers, a fake turkey, camo underarmor, and a book on how to clean and cook a turkey. Gross, I know. Little son had gotten out of the truck and said, "Mom, get those vegetables in the garden, we have to live off the land now. Dad is making us go hunting." Now, my boys like the "idea" of going hunting. Walking through the woods with their BB guns (Not average BB guns, they can shoot a BB through a piece of plywood and into a tree at 75 yards away), talking to Husband, and shooting at little things running through the woods. I don't think they would enjoy actually having to deal with an animal after they shot it. Especially little son. Big son helped Husband a couple of years ago when he shot a dear. And big son will shoot an animal when the dog catches them. But a large animal? I don't know.
