My Babies are Growing Up!

Yesterday evening Isabelle went out for her 1st real hunt with Kevin. On Saturday night, they just went to "sit" in the stand. A 7 point buck came right under them - about 7 yards away. It would have been an easy shot for Isabelle - but they didn't have her bow. It was just a "scouting" adventure. So she caught buck fever & couldn't wait to go out last night. I was helping her get all her gear & camo together while we waited Kevin's arrival.

While that was occuring, John Michael was close by, but with his back to me. Out of nowhere, (still not sure if he meant for anyone to hear it) while rubbing his chin he said, "I've got some hair on my chin, huh!" I quickly said, "what did you just say?" Very coolly he said, "I have some hair on my chin. . . it's really small, you can't see it." I had to turn away so as NOT to laugh at him. It was hysterical!!! About 1 week ago, he was in the bathroom watching Kevin shave. Kevin had such a hard time with that shave, because John Michael had a radar lock look on him. He would move his lip or neck as Kevin did - he would touch his face as Kevin did. Kevin had such a hard time keeping a straight face. John Michael was very intent & very curious. I guess he's been thinking about shaving & facial hair every since!

In the meantime, the 2 hunters were ready to go!!! Isabelle was ready to shoot, but unfortunately they didn't see anything but a squirrel. She was very disappointed, but she knows that you see something different each time you go out. So she says, "maybe next time."
