First Hunting Trip


The question I asked on facebook was "Is it obvious my son is being raised in South Alabama?" He heard the boys in his class at school talking about hunting with their dads and  he asked when his PawPaw would take him.  So, PawPaw asked if he could take him today.  I found it so cute that the question Turner wanted to ask PawPaw was if he had enough camo or if he needed to go buy some more.  PawPaw told him since it was the end of the season, he would probably be ok today and that we would get him some more camo next season.  Uncle Jeff got out there with Turner to learn about gun safety and do some target practice.  Turner has inherited the BB gun that James and Jeff both used as little boys.  PawPaw took Turner out to a shootinghouse on Granny's property and PawPaw said he was pretty quiet (for Turner that is) for about 15 minutes.  Then they spent about 20 minutes walking the woods.  They saw some deer tracks and droppings and a squirrel, but Turner said the squirrel was just too fast.  Turner said he had fun and wants to go again.  

I weighed in the Arc Angels yesterday for Scale Back Alabama.  TACC is a weigh in site and I am on a team with some ladies that I work with.  I have to lose a pound a week for 10 weeks for our team to be successful.  I think I did ok today for my first day of the program.  I pushed Turner in the stroller for about 30 minutes this morning for exercise.  I made turkey/spinach burgers for lunch today and made a wrap tonight with chicken/spinach/corn/homemade salsa.  I cut citrus up and put it in water to drink and haven't even had a diet soda today.  I'll keep you posted on my progress! Maybe telling everybody what I'm eating and how I'm exercising will keep me motivated!
