The beginning of the end....

of my little boy being a baby... That's right, my baby is now a kid! He went hunting with Billy in Texas for a whole week! I have never been away from him longer than a day or two! At first I wasn't sure how he would do with out me. (If you ask either of our kids if they would go on a trip just them and Dad, they say "Yes... if Mom comes!") He got used to the idea and was totally excited! He kept reassuring me that he would think about me everyday, call me everyday, and do something special for me. Well, the minute he stepped on the plane all thoughts of Mom went out the window! He had the time of his life! They stayed with Billy's grandparents who have a cattle ranch there. (Billy went 2 years ago and got a prize winning buck, in the record books, invited to a banquet, etc. We refer to him as "Half-Puppy") Bronson fed cows, gave them shots, medicine, etc, drove tractors, played with all the neighborhood animals, (funny stories about cats to follow) and now he even has his own cow, Baby Calf Evans. He was completely attached to Grandpa Marty, hardly leaving his side! And yes he did go hunting...Billy got a buck, which IS Bronson's "Dad just shot it for me" and Bronson shot his very own deer, really! Bronson is such a nature & animal lover I thought he would be scarred for life seeing dead animals, but apparently he's not and I'm pretty sure he is hooked!
