Boy, kids these days! What can ya do? Girls hit about 13 and all of a sudden get a mind of their own, get into their own hobbies, start asking if they can dye their hair, sometimes doing it first and asking permission later... Ooooiii!
Then they go and hit about 15 and want to run off with their friends all the time. I had my daughter shooting a little recurve when she was 2 1/2 years old. Going deer hunting with me when she was about 5 and shot her first doe with a rifle at 12. Just when you think you've got some habits ingrained they go and do something like this....
She runs off for the afternoon with her friend and my camera. Uh oh. What's the plan?????
Well let me show ya what she did for the afternoon.
She's catchin' butterflies...
Taking close up pic's....
Climbing trees...AND she snuck her bow out of the house!
Oh wait....uh... hey, ain't that a good thing????
Yup, I'm the Daddy to a tom-boy and proud of it!
Here's a couple more.
Pretendin' she's sneaking up on sumthin'.
Taking a little break. By the way, this one is my new wallpaper.
Oooooooh! Dangerous! But she told me "Dad, I didn't have the arrow on the string. I was just faking it. I'd never point a bow that close to my friend." Hey, maybe she does listen sometimes.
Put a camera in a kids hands and they just start to notice little things like this.
And this.
