Starting the year off with a Bang!!!

Our Christmas morning involved one excited Grandpa! Why you ask??? Because he had bought his oldest grandson his first real gun. Luke was so excited to wake up yesterday to go out shooting with his papa and daddy! At first he thought he was going hunting for deer. But was still just as excited when he was told that he was going to shoot at targets. Most boys get their first gun at an older age, so I am sure Luke is going to have excellent marksmanship by the time all the other boys are just learning their hunter safety stuff.
It was so much fun, Grandma had to get in on the fun too!
It’s really hard to get a four year old to try to sit still and aim. But by the end he actually hit the target a few times. (Although I am told it was probably more luck, than aim) Regardless, the kid had a grand time firing off rounds left and right!He enjoyed shooting his gun for awhile, and then he got bored and headed to the truck to play. It is going to be a fun ritual for him and his papa and daddy to go out and achieve "22 Riflery Perfection" over the years.

Let us just pray that he doesn't shoot his eye out!
