Hunting and Fishing Expo

Yesterday we took the boys to the Convention Center to participate in the Hunting and Fishing Expo. There was soooo much to do and not enough time. Dillon and Quinn decided that they would try out the canoe. They hit the island a couple of times but made it around with the help of Devin yelling directions from the bank. Devin sure did give good directions but wasn't about to try it on his own.

The next stop was the bow and arrow range. All of the boys tried it out. Damen is pictured below with a little help from an ass't. On Devin's last shot he did hit the bear in the hand. He was pretty proud, not a kill but a wound!

Devin, Dillon, and Quinn all tried out the pellet gun range. The man really took his time with Devin, worked with him until he was able to hit a bulls-eye. Dillon and Quinn did an excellent job and were right on target!
Dillon and his new pet that he thinks he needs to have....a hog-nose snake. Would the snake live with Squirtle the Turtle? Too bad, we will have to just stick with the turtle. I could not believe that Dillon let that thing crawl all over him! Even Damen got his face right in there.
Quinn loading up his Bow. He was the only one to pop a balloon. Good shooting Quinn!!
One picture that I did not get was of Damen using a crossbow. This was not a real one, just one that shot velcro darts. You had to get the dart to stick on the black dot on the deer, 2 out of 3 shots. Dillon went first and got his 2 out of 3, winning a camo cap! Devin and Quinn didn't have such good luck, they did get the darts to stick to the curtain behind the deer though. Damen was last and having a hard time aiming so Boo covered his left eye for him and wouldn't you know.... 2 out of 3....winning a camo cap also. He held his head pretty high after that!!
