{amelia's first hunt}

Amelia finally got to go on her very first hunt.  Daddy woke her up bright and early and dressed her in some camo.



To say that she was excited would be an understatement...a huge understatement.


Of course, I had to take plenty of photos.


I'm in love with this one {ignore Josh's "grandpa" truck in the background}.  {I know, honey, that cap serves lots of great purposes...not one of them has anything to do with style...purely practical.}


About 15 minutes after they left, I heard a few shots.  I was hoping that meant success.  And 30 minutes later, they came back with their bounty.  


Again, she could not have been more excited.
 


Josh told the funniest story after their hunt.  He said that after he shot the first squirrel, Amelia covered her mouth as they walked to pick it up.  Being that this was the first animal that she had seen shot and killed, he wasn't sure if she was upset about the squirrel dying.  When he looked to see if she was crying, she was actually giggling and doing her best to contain her excitement! :)
