Thanksgiving Memories



Thanksgiving has gone leaving with the families involved with even more blessings than we started with. We left for Arkansas on the 20th of November at 5:45 AM. Yes, Chris drove thankgoodness so I could catch up on my rest & relax. The boys really enjoyed watching movies & eating while we traveled. We arrived around 5PM at The Knights. We unloaded the hunting supplies & had coffee with Gwen & Sam before going over to Mom & Dad's. Chris, Caleb, & Luke woke up early on November the 21st ready to hunt. Chris's last words before leaving to hunt were for us to pray for "deaf deer". Caleb & Luke were outfitted with satchels of candy, gum, coloring books, as well as Games Boys. Chris had purchased a deer blind so they all could be out of the wind & a tree stand was out of the question for this year. The Lord blessed my guys with a beautiful 8 point buck! The boys called & told us all they experienced. Caleb & Luke both had a blast. They went out a second day & much to Luke's dismay they weren't able to shoot another deer. However, they were able to use the deer calls & find deer tracks. The boys first hunting experience with Chris as well as Pop's ended on a high note.
