Thanksgiving break has allowed me a little free time from housework and volunteering. Some time to enjoy getting outdoors with the kiddos.
My in-laws have about 5 acres on the edge of a little town in New Mexico. There is lots of dirt to play in and plenty of birds to shoot at with their BB guns.
Skeeter has had a very good day of hunting. Today he shot 2 sparrows! He is very excited. This is not his first kill, but it is the first time that he killed two birds in one day. I am very proud of him. Pork Chop was feeling a little left out but luckily Tio Shorty had a smaller BB Gun that he could use. He learned some basic safety and how to shoulder and fire the gun. He can hit a can at about ten feet which I think is fantastic!
For those of you who know no Spanish. Tio is uncle in Spanish. More good times are to come this trip!
