Whistle Pigs

3/27/09

Lil O has been itching to get out and shoot his gun, and Dad came up with the idea to go 'whistle pig' shooting (which is code for ground squirrel). Zachary was sooo excited that he got to go too. It was a nice sunny day, but a little chilly and a bit windy, they had a great time though.

Zachary thought Dad was going to kill him with his crazy driving, and swore his head hit the ceiling when they went over bumps. Dad quoted Zachary as they were going down a steep hillside "WE'RE GOING TO DIE". I had to laugh at this because I could easily picture him saying it with his feet braced against the seat in front of him and arms out spread. hehehehe Lil O had a hard time at first spotting the whistle pigs, but soon got the hang of it. I laughed and teased him that he was related to his mom because I never see the stuff Oscar points out. Most times I mistake a rock or stick with an animal, I'm pathetic. However Lil O claims he's not that bad. hehehehe







Oscar recently purchased a GPS unit that goes in the truck so he can locate homes for work. The boys think it's awesome so they were using it today to find a good place to shoot. The funny story comes when they are driving across the desert and decide to stop and read the GPS. The found the only mud hole in the whole area, and when they decided to start driving again realized they might be stuck!! hahahahaha Dad quickly put it into reverse and frantically started rolling up the windows before the mud came flying in!! After a few minutes of maneuvering they were free and were laughing, the truck was a good site to see, but the camera battery died.

When they were out driving they came across a lone cow, and Dad told them it looked like she was going to have a baby. They drove away and came back the same way about 20 minutes later, and there was the cow with a baby!! The boys were astonished!.

I'm glad they got to get out and have some fun father/son bonding time, doing boy stuff. Zachary was very excited and came home to give me the story. I had to stop him when I started getting details, Dad had to remind him that mom doesn't like that stuff! He'll learn fast, Lil O did. *wink*
