After waking up and having some pancakes and yogurt, my son Brody began his usual running around the house chasing the dog and getting into mischief. He kept looking out the window and pointing so I opened the front door and noticed that it was a relatively nice day. I went upstairs and grabbed my bow and thought I'd go out and try to chase some bunnies or at least some leaves and stumps. While I was putting my coat on, Brody brought me his little plastic longbow and handed it to me. I thought, he's probably as stir crazy as I am from being cooped up in the house. I checked the weather and saw that it was in the mid 50's. I put on his coat and grabbed a little short arrow out of my wife's quiver and off we went. We hung around the field for a while shooting and enjoying the sunshine. Brody is only twenty months old so he can't shoot by himself but he tries. We soon found a deer trail and started down it. I couldn't believe that I didn't have to carry him. I just walked slowly and he followed carrying his little bow. We found some deer poop, aluminum cans, and all the sticks and leaves that a little boy can pickup. We didn't find any rabbits or squirrels but we had fun anyway. Best of all, he got his good shoes muddy which made his mother happy. HEHEHE! Thought I'd share. Tripper

That is just a wonderful story. That's great to see. Thanks for sharing. Jawge
Terrific!!! Making great memories is the best part of life!
I totally understand about an almost 2 year old going stir crazy. My boy had to go for a walk earlier this for just the same reason. Where did you get that bows at? It looks like something that my boy needs.
Have fun doing when ever you can.
Chester, I got that bow at Cabelas. It came with 4 little plastic arrows with suction cups but he's already managed to tear the plastic fletch off. Tripper
GOOD STUFF right there!! Believe me, those are memories you'll cherish forever!
:cool: :thumbsup: :clapper:
Made an ol' grampa's heart glow - thanks for sharing...
Priceless! He will be shooting them straight in no time...
That's way cool!! I love the time I get with my kids, cherish it they grow up before you know it!
Cherish him...in a couple days he'll be grown!
Seems like yesterday, my son was that small. Now he's in Northern Iraq! Still wants his bow!
