Lions, Tigers, Buffalo, and Bears...Oh My!

Our family has a new past time--shooting. John took Christian out the other day and let him fire a little pistol-style bb gun, not realizing he was creating a monster! They stayed outside for a couple of hours hunting buffalo, bears, and anything else Christian could think up. It was very cute! Then, as the evening went on, Caitlin went out and participated in the "hunt." Before long, John had her seated at the patio table doing target practice with his rifle-style bb gun. She was so enthralled in the whole "gun thing" that John took her to Gander Mountain last night and bought her a Crickett 22 long rifle. She can't wait to try it out at the range with Daddy! Caitlin and Christian are both so excited about our new family past time that they literally meet John at the door every evening with "Daddy! Daddy! Can we go shoot?" Ahhhh, makes a momma's heart proud! :)
