fall turkey

On Monday, Mike was off work for archery season. In between the morning and evening hunts, he came home to eat and take a nap. Right after he went upstairs, I saw a flock of turkey come out into the field, so I yelled up to him. He really wasn't all about shooting a turkey, but since Cody was really excited about it, he went out and broke them up while I got Cody dressed in camo. They went out together to the hunting shack and called this turkey back in! Cody was really upset that Mike shot it because he wanted to be the one to shoot (with his toy bow) so Mike let him shoot it when they walked up to it and it was still flopping. So, Cody got to "finish it off" He is so proud of his turkey!

There were a lot of "high-fives" and "good jobs" going around!

Once again, Sarah wasn't afraid to pet the dead turkey. UGHHHH!
After all the excitement, Cody wasn't ready to be done hunting, so he went out to his "tree stand" with his bow and was looking for some more!

fall fun!

We finally got to take our annual fall hayride on the last weekend they had it. The kids had so much fun! The first and last thing we did, of course, was check out the reindeer. Cody was pretty impressed with the rack.

We took the hayride, but Cody wouldn't smile because he wanted to ride on the "camouflage" (green) tractor and only the orange one was running.

The kids had a good time running through the pumpkins and seeing who could pick up the biggest one.

And, of course, they had a blast playing on the haybales until their hands were red and numb from cold!
