This winter, no thanks to Duck Dynasty in my opinion, Josh took up a new hobby. You guessed it, duck hunting! And from that right into goose hunting. Naturally, it made more sense to rope someone else in to the fun so Robbie also got hooked and now they consider themselves regular ole waterfowl hunters :) The amount of prep that goes into this is intense. They had to start by learning to use the duck and goose calls to call the birds in. Josh actually practices in the car on the way to work....... which is much better than in the house! Aiden and Isla love to blow on the calls as well. I'm betting that Aiden will be better at calling the birds than Josh or Robbie one day! They have scouted sale ads and craigslist for decoys. They get up at the crack of dawn to go out and set up all the decoys and cover themselves when they lay down on the ground to wait and call the birds in. It's a lot of work! But they're hooked! On Friday, the last day of goose season another of their friends came down to go out with them and see what this is all about. After they hunted we had an impromptu dinner party with everyone. We had lasagna and cupcakes and a good visit with friends! The kids ran and ran and ran and they were exhausted by the time the night was over which means we even got to sleep in a little on Saturday morning! Win!
I didn't get any pictures of the dinner portion but here are some pictures of Josh's hunting adventures over the last couple months
And as Isla says "Daddy FINALLY shot a bird" Her words...not mine :)
Now we have a couple months until Turkey season begins and baby boy is here. His "honey-do" list will be growing! Who am I kidding.... my to-do list is growing too!
