Grandpa's Little Hunter







So before we finally relented and let Grandma and Grandpa go back to Maryland, we had to squeeze in a traditional trip to Gander Mountain! For those of you who don't know, that is a store that sells "outdoors" type stuff, for hunting, fishing, camping, and such. Kalee LOVES to go there and check out all of the 4-wheelers and camo items! (Yes, my little princess LOVES her some camo!!)






So we went to Gander Mountain on a mission to find Kalee a "hunter girl shirt," much to Grandpa's delight, I think! She had a blast, even though there was not a 4-wheeler in sight...apparently they no longer sell them! She played with decoys and deer calls, and found the most awesome of all hunter girl shirts which she changed into immediately upon entering the car! She even found a fabulous camouflage hat to complete the ensemble!!






AND she found a pink air rifle, a la Ralphie from "A Christmas Story," which we did not purchase at this time but I'm sure it is probably in her future!! She also found herself some groundhog shaped targets, since she and Grandpa had been watching for the groundhog who visits our backyard and discussing how easy it would be to take him down!!






I guess I should be really pleased that she is such a diverse little princess who can shift gears from Ballet, Tap, and Tumbling to redneck sharpshooter, but the look in her eyes when she was holding that gun makes me a LITTLE nervous.....

She looked so cute when we saw her in her "hunter" outfit!! The picture of her with the gun...scary! :)

Just be glad that she cant really read yet and was unable to find the section where the "BUTT out" is! We had a ton of fun explaining that one to Jacob!! :)
