Camo Day

One trait that Evan will not get passed down from me is hunting. My dad was not a hunter and I never got exposed to the act of blasting away at your diner. Last time I checked they still sell meat at the grocery store. Don't pass me off for a PETA member, I love to eat animals and don't mind people hunting them. Jennifer is a huge hunter. She even has a pair of binoculars that help her scope out the game. One problem - she does not know how to hold a gun more less shoot one. Her dad is a veterinarian and not a hunter either. He did pass down his love for animals to Jennifer. Even though we do not hunt - we still wear camouflage. Last Saturday Jennifer put the girls in their camo shirts and Evan in his camo shorts. We decided to join in on the camo day. You can't see it but Zona has on a camo collar.

I hope Jennifer and I will pass down the love of animals. Living out in the sticks gives us the chance to see several different critters. Here are some inhabitants that hang out around our house - deer, red fox, ground hog, skunk, birds of all kinds - including hawks that Jennifer has her own form of communication with, possum, lizards, snakes, and lots of rabbits. I get calls all day long from Jennifer peeking through a window with her binoculars looking at a new furry friend. For a little over a year now we have been seeing the same group of deer. We get a daily visit from them. I mentioned to Jennifer the other night that she looks forward to seeing the deer more than me and she did not disagree. Some of my co-workers are itching to come up while we are away and blast away at our deer but they have all been warned that they first have to get by the Doc and then face Jennifer. I think they will stay away for now. Here's a picture of our 2nd family.
