We started talking a while before Christmas about what we could do that would be a special experience for the boys while they were here visiting for the holidays. There's not a whole lot of teenager appeal in our town...but we do have CedarRock. Hunting in general is not new to the boys. They have a farm in Texas where they frequently deer hunt. They have been spectators on various bird hunts over the years. They have canoed and fished with the best of river rats. So, my dad came up with the suggestion of taking them on their first ever rabbit hunt, complete with hound dogs to lead the way.
They went for some practice shooting time a couple days before the hunt, but I must say they are both pretty talented with an eye for the shot as it is. And how did they do on their rabbit hunt?
Five fat rabbits! Not too shabby for a couple of first-timers!

Sam, however, did not attend the rabbit hunt. He was happy with a short joy ride through the backyard on our neighbors new 4-wheeler. Chad was so kind to offer to drive Sam around. We bundled him up and he rode about 5 miles an hour with a smile on his face that money can't buy. Now, everytime he hears the 4-wheeler crank up outside, he goes to door to ask Chad for a ride. He's hooked.
