Hayden's 1st Hunting Trip

Hayden went bird hunting today with Mark and Ms. Sue(our new dog). This is her first official hunting trip. Mark took her to Academy Sports this morning and bought her a new bird vest and whistle for Sue. She was so proud of her hunting attire, she is an adorable little hunter. Uncle Heath went with them to hunt, he shot the birds while Mark took care of Hayden and Sue. Sue did an excellent job, Mark was very pleased with his new dog. Hayden, on the other hand has decided she might not be such a big hunter. Mark said she was loving it for the first 10 minutes and after that she got some cockaburrows on her and she was DONE. For some reason she is terrified, and I mean TERRIFIED of the cockaburrows (I guess because of the ones on the beach when we go) even after they got home she wouldn't put her bird vest back on for some pictures because she thought that the cockaburrows were still in it. She ended up crying until Mark took her back to the truck, so he decided it was time to call it a day. It was the first time she has ever been hunting, so she really didn't know what to expect. I think that she did have a good time, maybe she will try to go again and love it.

When they got home, Hayden helped clean the birds(yuck). She is an excellent helper with everything. We did finally convince her that there weren't any cockaburrows in her vest so we could take a few pictures with the birds. She looks so proud! I hope next time she will enjoy it more, she was so excited about it all when they left this morning. Here is how the trip went:
