Nana and Papa went up to Monte camping for the weekend so we decided to go up to visit and let the boys get a little dirty. Zac's cousins had their motorcyles up there and the boys were dying to take them for a ride. Zac helped them a little bit, but this bike was a little much for them. Kyson took off and almost ran right into a tree full throttle. It was a little scary, but he LOVED it. He jumped off the bike and ran over to me and said, "mom, I just went SUPER fast" with a huge smile on his face. They can't wait to get bikes of their own someday.
Beckem just hung out, tried to eat some rocks, but mostly enjoyed treats and the nice weather.
Later in the night Zac was chasing Grouse (Pine Chickens) and throwing rocks at them. He was telling his aunt Karen (she hates people that kill animals) that he was going to catch his dinner. Karen got so mad and went in her trailer and not too much longer Zac actually hit one sitting in a tree with a rock and killed it. Every kid in camp was so interested in what just happened. Zac took it over the hill and gutted it and got the meat all cleaned up for dinner. Zac cooked it up and gave each kid a bite of the yummy chicken. Zac tried to teach all the kids that you only kill something if you are going to eat it and that is just what he did. Hopefully Karen doesn't hate him for too long, but it was pretty impressive to see him kill it with a rock and cook it up for dinner. The boys loved it and keep asking when they can go kill some more birds so they can cook them up for dinner. I guess that's what you get when you live in a house full of boys.
