Squirrel Hunting

Hayden finally got to go hunting for the first time yesterday.  Since she has learned to shoot her gun, she has been asking when she could go hunting with Daddy.  Clay and Mitchell wanted to go squirrel hunting, so Mark decided to take Hayden too.  They also asked Tyson and his daughter Hannah to go and Tyson has a squirrel dog, so that made things a little more fun too.  Hayden looked so cute, even though I was informed you're not supposed to dress up for hunting.  She had her pink and camo, boots and hat and she was adorable and ready to go.  She had so much fun, but said that it was a lot of walking and she fell one time.  She didn't shoot one while they were hunting.  Mitchell shot one, Mark shot one, and one got away.  Then they all decided to have a little bit of lunch at the Good Hope Store and came back to our house so that Mitchell could shoot a few other guns here.  They all had a great time and I am sure it is something Hayden will always cherish....hunting with Daddy! 

Well, after Mitchell and Clay left, Mimi and Pop came over for dinner.  Hayden was playing outside and she came running in and said "Daddy there is a squirrel out there in our yard and it is like posing at me and I want to shoot it".  So being the awesome Daddy he is, he got the gun and off they went squirrel hunting in our woods.  We all heard the shot and then we see a big smile and Hayden caring a dead squirrel.  She shot it all by herself with no help from Daddy.  She was so proud.  She is planning on taking the tail to school for show and tell....I am not so sure about that!  This little girl always amazing me at the things she can do.  Good shot sweet girl!!!!
