Aaron has taken both Alex and Taylor on seperate hunting trips this year. They went somewhere close to home, which was nice. This picture is right before Alex and Daddy left for their afternoon adventure. Alex wasn't sure about the glowing orange hat (with all of her high fashion sense she's got now.)
Alex spotted a deer late into the afternoon! Aaron turned and got ready to aim with his bow and arrow. He ended up taking the shot and hit the deer! It was really exciting for both of them. It was too dark, however, to go track the deer that night (since they had forgotten to bring a flashlight), so they had to come home empty-handed that night. Alex told the whole story when she got home and they decided that they would go back out the next morning to try to spot the deer.
They got up bright and early and went with Darin to go track down the deer. They found it!!! Alex got to experience a hunt from start to finish. She really enjoyed having that time with Daddy. And now we have some meat in the freezer!!
I love to "read"!
You should see Keats face when we ask him if he wants to feed the dog. He starts "jumping" up and down as he starts to squeal with excitement and runs to the door!
He goes and scoops the food (with a little help) from in the garage and then brings it through the house to the deck outside where Scout eats.
What a big helper! 
You're getting to be such a big boy, Keaton! We love you. 
Yeah! High fives!
