2nd Amendment Exercises


In honor of our new president and all the freedoms he represents (or NOT) the first thing we did when Daddy got home from his last trip offshore was to go shooting!
Even little sweetie pie had fun shooting the .22.


It's great here in Louisiana. Not too many laws, and as long as you are outside the city limits you can pretty much just find some open space and shoot!
We happened to know some people that let us shoot in their backyard.

Dad, with the ultimate hunting rifle! Darn good marksman I might add.

Little Man has been shooting since he was 5 1/2 yrs. He owns two guns now and is a very good shot. Gun safety is always a big deal and is reviewed all the time. I remember taking Gun Safety classes in 6th grade in Utah. Seems so uncommon in so many places now.
He just look like a little Louisiana boy!

The bumper stickers around here read..."Kids that hunt and fish don't steal and deal!"
I believe it. And they all say "Yes, Ma'am" to their Mama, no matter what their age is!


Hunting is a huge thing here in Louisiana. Most people have deer meat in their freezer and REALLY know how to cook it. Cajun style of course. It's so good for you and so much better than beef. Can't wait to get some good recipes.
My neighbor is going to bring me a roast or two for my little apt. freezer.
Happy Hunting!

Wow, Bin! I can't believe the little man can fire away like that. I think I'd be a nervous wreck if my son had a real gun in his hands...but then we haven't had the "gun safety" talk yet.

I love the quote, btw, and the pics are fantastic!

I think a big gun like Danny's would drop me right on my butt! I've never shot a gun before...unless a squirtgun counts, but somehow I don't think it does!

Hello down in Louisiana! I have met MANY bloggy friends from LA...I'm so glad to meet another.

I am also glad there are other parents out there teaching their children how to exercise the 2nd amendment. And I love the quote you gave!

OH and I love venison! But, woe is me, I know not how to cook it cajun-style. I'm sorry to disapoint. But I can cook it Texas style (which is where I was born and raised). And that means I can chicken-fry the backstrap! :-) Yummy!

It was nice to meet you...thanks for stopping by to say hello.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Bin. Thanks for stopping by today. I've heard all good things from Scarlet about you.

It's amazing that your children are learning how to hunt. I've been thinking about that more lately. Maybe it would be a good skill to have. Growing up in NY it was not something we did.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Living in the country, we can shoot in our back yard and I do quite often. In fact I have my 22 siting by the front door now to chase away the hunting dogs. We have a problem here with dear hunters letting their dogs loose and then not retrieving them. Oh don't worry I am not shooting the dogs but when the hunters are across the street from our house and their dogs are in our back hard, treeing our cats and killing our chickens, a few 22 shots outside reminds them to take control of their dogs. #2 son is going to be exercising his rights soon but he doesn't know it yet so don't mention it on my blog. Can you say 20 Ga. :)

Way cool pics. My brother gave me a pistol just last week. I thought I'd better accept it gratefully before BO revokes the 2nd.

My husband was a hunter. I have many guns, including one he bought for me. I have never shot it. Before young folks hunt here they have to take a gun safety class. My oldest son took it when he went hunting.

Hi Bin! It is wonderful to 'meet' you. We are across the bay from Mobile - Daphne side. The school systems on this side are REALLY good so I would highly reccomend this area when you relocate. Fairhope, Daphne, and Spanish Fort all have very good schools.

Love Scarlet. She is a very cool bloggette!

Be blessed.

Jen

Oh! And I stay up late too :)

HA! I just noticed the homeschool mom part as I was leaving your blog. Well that is just like me to leave a comment about good schools to a homeschooler LOL! This is still a very nice area to settle down.

Hunting is big here in Arkansas too, also, as well.

:-)

I like that saying you quoted.
I don't think Obama would dare try to take people's right to own guns away from them. If he did, there'd be an outcry that would rock the nation.
Obama is too liberal for me, but I think he's smart enough to know that if he governs to the far left, people like me will raise heck.
Your kids are learning how to safely use guns.
They'll be able to hunt for their food if they need to, and they'll be able to protect themselves and their families from danger.
Those photos are terrific!
You have a lovely family.

Little Man Jumps!

Image
So, as you can see...Little Man likes to JUMP! I was attempting to organize my pictures and realized that I had a LOT of pictures of the Little Man jumping! He can even jump with a binky! That was Oceanside, CA, by-the-way... Found this one of him jumping on the Star of India in San Diego... We never wanted Little Man to have "1st Child Syndrome"so, we encouraged him to just "go for it"! Here in Florida, the routine was... Dad digs a big hole, and Little Man climbs up the pile and...JUMPS! Back in Oceanside....There are always good sand cliffs the tide left the night before. This is in St. George, UT. Love those RED rocks! His hands make me laugh. Carlsbad, CA... Catching some air. I wonder what he will do on a surfboard? Pt. Loma (San Diego). Notice Sweetie Pie's look of amazement! Ah yes...Orange Beach, AL. That sand is like baby powder, which is a good thing with sand built up this high! Even in the flat land of the Bahamas...he can still find something ...

Big Ships and the Cajun Riveria

Image
On Saturday, I drove with my two kiddos down to a place called Cameron, LA. I had to bring my hubby a new cell phone and since he was in port we thought it would be a great time to see his ship. There he is in is "walk like an Egyptian" pose. It would just be so hard to be married to someone really quiet and boring... Cameron, LA is about 2 hours SW of Lafayette so we were on the road REALLY early. One hour on I-10 and 1 hour on little country roads. The Paul Callais is a 150' Offshore Supply Ship. Danny usually drives an 180' ship, so this is his "baby" boat. Usually the back deck is loaded with generators, and numerous boxes of everything from food to drilling pipe. They supply the oil rigs with EVERYTHING they need to sustain life, including water. Sometimes even a ride back to land in a hurricane! On our way down, we saw remnants of Hurricane IKE that hit at the end of last season. There is still so much destruction and people without homes. OK,...
