We are about half way through Christmas vacation and the boys are patiently waiting for snow! In the mean time...it's all about the BB guns and targets. I seriously get a kick out of watching my boys be boys. The neighbor boy who lives across the street from us brought over his Red Ryder BB gun and my son pulled out his brand new BB gun.
They each took turns setting up used tin cans to shoot as targets. The tall handsome kid standing up is my son Everest. Let it be stated that the new BB gun he is holding does not belong to him, but his younger brother Easton. Easton would have a fit if anyone thought the BB gun belonged to anyone but him! The boy kneeling next to him is the neighbor boy.
The little guy you see taking aim here is my son Easton...the proud owner of the new BB gun. Each tin can popped by a BB was closely counted. Of course they HAD to keep score! I have to say, boys are very competitive! They don't get it from me! I am WAY to lax when it comes to sports and competition. Some how that testosterone just shines through and it's always a matter of win or lose. Oh dear!
It's so fun to watch my boys grow up. I really appreciate every moment. They go from Hot Wheels cars to guns in a blink of an eye!
Wow! What good looking kids you have. I know they are having a blast! I remember my boy having BB guns and all the neighbors lock themselves inside. Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteGosh is it me or have those boys grown like crazy this year? They are handsome boys. I'm glad you are encouraging them to learn about guns. I bet it was a fun day shooting cans.
ReplyDeleteMy boys all have a love of guns too!! The older ones have both been through hunters safety, and each of them shot their own deer earlier this month. I have to admit, I get tickled to look out the window to see one or two or three of them marching along with their guns. .just waiting on something to move :-) They have been given special instructions that they may NOT shoot my birds. .any of them ;-)And YES. .they always MUST keep score. .I'll never figure that out about boys!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAs the mother of a grown son, I can relate to how quickly they grow!
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting because of your comment on Window On The Prairie.
I loved your suggestion to Suzanne about writing a post about her favorites! That's an excellent idea, and I just wanted to "warn" you that I may very well steal that idea for a future blog post.
Nice to "meet" you!
Ha! The boys here (our son and his cousins) are all about having wars with their air soft guns. Boys will be Boys...you are right! :) Happy New Year!
