Friday night was just awesome for Cade and I...we weren't there for 10 minutes and still saying our hello's when Big Ed walked in with a brand new, made by "Big Ed" longbow for Cade! An absolute 48", rocket launching beauty!!!
Then Big Ed says he brought something for me as well...and in walked Tim Golder!
I've been inviting Tim and his boy up for years, but they could never make it. This year I didn't send an invite with everything going on....and he showed up with Ed...how cool!
The next morning things got started a little slow.....
Cade shooting his brand spankin' new "Big Ed" longbow at the steel bunny....
My buddy "Glenbo" doing the same....
The crowd was gathering....
Jen in the middle of an incredible tumbling run down the plywood walkway to officially kick-off the 2010 JLMBH!!!!!
The "Kid's hunt" participants...down a little from last year....
Right before the kids hunt started, Cade was having a bit of a reaction to all the dogs we was playing with in the house. So I gave him some Benadryl to stop it.
The kids hunt started quick for him, he had a quick shot right off the bat! I think "Pop"(Dick) Langer might have even captured it on video!
The next push as he waited with Damon(nomad88), Shawn and I pushed another bunny at him again that he got a shot off at as well as many of the others...very cool again!
Damon and Cade after the shot....as you can see the Benadryl is starting to take effect... '
My boy....check out the new bow! Quilted Maple back veneers, and Red cedar on the belly...
Leading the way....yes that's "huntmaster" Shawn with the mohawk!!!!!

Shawn, WOW it's been a great ride ! You and Cindy along with the rest of your family did a great job ! Thank You
My hero from the hunt was a little huntress that had a Robin Hood hat ! She kept up and never complaned at all ! Even when she got wrapped up in some rose bushes and we cut her out .
David there definitely was some greater power in the air ! Afer speaking with Jamie on Sunday it was confirmed.
On another note when we got back to the trucks after the greenhouse push Pete had a message on his cell phone. His father in law passed while we were pushing the greenhouse. My prayers are with him and Jamie.

Some great pics already guys, keep them coming.
Mamba, there is a tutorial about it. Its just a matter of setting up a PB account, then emailing your pics to it. Then, copy the img code( I think it is on the bottom) and paste it into the reply box.
Awesome time, in more ways than one. Keep it all coming guys.

My heart goes out to those who have received the worst of news but pressed on, my thoughts are with you and your families, Jamie and Pete. All the best to all of you, Joe Flikkema
