Boy Stuff

Words do not adequately describe how much our boys enjoy wrestling with their daddy. When they were babies, Derek couldn't wait to wrestle with them. Well, dear, here you go. Your wish came true. :)

While I took time out for some girl stuff last weekend (Priscilla Shirer simulcast), Derek took our boys out for target practice. Actually, plans changed at the last minute due to strep throat. Poor Aaron was hit with it again, just 4 weeks after his first diagnosis. So, instead of attending a turkey hunting seminar with our two oldest sons, Derek took all 3 boys out for some shooting time. It was a warm, windy day. Derek gave Braylen the camera and WOW! Did he do a great job! Here's a sampling of what he captured that day.

"hands"

Aaron takes aim
Looking at Braylen's pictures gives me a glimpse into what he sees: A close-up of Aaron, the target taped to the barbed wire, Aaron and Derek's hands gripping the gun. I told him how much I liked his pictures and he soaked it up like a sponge. Maybe he'll take up photography some day?

Braylen's turn to shoot the gun instead of the camera
Sunday brought some more fun into our weekend, and this time it wasn't just for boys. :) More on that in the next post.
