Turkey Day

It’s been a while and I really should take some time to update a little bit.  I’ll start with Kaydra.  Kaydra shot a turkey this week!  Does that sound crazy to anyone else?  She and Leonard have been out hunting turkeys a couple of times in the past month and on Saturday they thought they would try again.  They were up at 5:00 am and were unsuccessful when they returned home around 6:00.  I was supposed to work that morning so they came home but I had a phone call telling me that they didn’t need me to work…So… after a quick nap they headed out again.  I was working in the yard when they came home.  I didn’t pay much attention until Kaydra came down into the yard with a TURKEY over her shoulder!  kaydra turkey1

It was a pretty big bird (almost as big as she is – and bigger than the one her dad shot this year!) and she was pretty excited. (So was her dad!)  Leonard said she made a great shot right in the head.

I don’t know how she does stuff like that but she sure seems to enjoy it.  Not many mothers that can brag about their 10-year-old daughter’s hunting ability!  I am glad she has a good time with her dad in the woods – and so is he!  Congrats Kaydra!

That bird is HUGE! So cool! Great job Kaydra. I think I'll just stick to buying turkey at a store.
