Date with Daddy (Deer Hunting Style)

On Friday, Kennedy and Bryan headed out on a date. Instead of going out to eat they decided to go sit in the woods and look for deer. Kennedy was SO excited!! She's been Bryan's biggest fan and is always excited to hear about his hunting adventures.
After a very muddy walk to their spot, they set up their tent and Kennedy instantly began looking for deer and wanting a snack.

Where's all the bucks, dad?

On the lookout again...


Taking a break to snap a photo of daddy.. she just loves taking pics.

She kept saying, dad, there's a big one!!
Bryan got excited for a sec and then realized she said that every time she looked thru the binoculars.
Trying her skills on the buck grunt.
Bryan said she'd hit it about every 20 seconds. (good times!)
You can't hunt without an i-pod, hehe, so this pacified her for about an extra 20 minutes as dawn was approaching.
Bryan said hunting with Kennedy was the highlight of his hunting season and they didn't even see a thing. Not even a bird. :-)
Kenz had a great time, too, and never stopped telling stories and talking while they were in the blind. Bryan said the only time she stopped talking was when she was on the buck grunt. Lots of good memories were made while out together. I'm sure there will be many more daddy/daughter hunting adventures (and father/son) to come.
Next time- she hopes to shoot a BUCK!
Thanks, Elders, for letting us share our first daddy/daughter hunting memories at your farm!

Anytime! It was so cute to see them get out of the truck and get their gear on together and start walking across the field. ( I should have taken a pic!)
