Dance and Riflery

This fall, we let Gabe and Eden choose an activity.  Eden has been begging us to let her take dance lessons so that was an easy decision for her to make.  Gabe was interested in karate until we found out that all karate lessons for his age require two practices a week which isn't manageable for our family's schedule.  So Gabe's Poppy offered to teach him how to properly shoot a gun and he loves it.

Eden had a hard time adjusting to dance lessons.  We were surprised to see her cry when she went into class and it was hard for us to hear that she didn't like it and wanted to stop.  We realized that this is the first time she has done something without Gabe so we continued to take her to class and she finally adjusted to the time away from her brother.  She really likes the class but I think she likes the clothes and music the best.

 

Gabe loves his new 22 youth riffle but he isn't quite big enough to hold it.  His favorite part about shooting guns is the bear hunts they go on.  Gabe, Poppy, Silas, and Dad load up in the Gator and head out across the farm in search of a bear, lion, snake . . .  He likes to climb up in Poppy's dear stand and watch for anything that might come by.  Gabe always comes back telling me big stories about the lion they saw that scratched him on the face.
