S A T U R D A Y {{ part 1 }}

sometimes days are full and long.
sometimes those days are over the top wonderful.

S A T U R D A Y
was one of those over the top wonderful days.

we started off the day bright and early with a drive to a neighboring town for a jr. pheasant hunt.
i normally don't go along on these types of adventures, but someone needs to take photographs and be a keeper of these memories. 

lucky for me another mom ended up in our group went along for the ride. she was so nice and to my surprise she's a hunter. and she just may have convinced me to get my hunting license. of course my husband jumped at the chance of me being slightly interested to get me into the hunter safety class. 
i may have convinced my niece and nephew to go through the course with me. 
i'm a big baby and don't like to do things alone. ha!







this girl is German Shorthaired Pointer and man can she can work. 
she looked like she was having a blast finding the birds.

this lady is a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon she was just beautiful. 

three things that really stand out to me from the hunt are:

1. the community of hunters are not what i expected. they are truly so kind and friendly. 
2. my boys can shoot. like whoa, can they shoot. 
3. watching the dogs sweep, point, and flush out the birds was so impressive. i would go as far as saying it was just beautiful to watch. 

this was only a third of what saturday held. 
i'll be back tomorrow with part 2.

how was your saturday?
