The big goose hunt.....

Dawson went with Mike goose hunting for Valentines Day. Hunter stayed with me as his statement was, 'mom, I just can't think about leaving you alone' :-). Dawson however left me with no problem, he was soo excited. Dawson is a hunter, he wants to go with Mike all the time. And he loves to be outside and to drive around. So, off Mike and Dawson went Saturday morning about 2 1/2 hours away to the duck lease. At each new town Dawson asked if they were there. He called me from 'upstairs' as you can see. Some would call it a top bunk, others, upstairs, to each his own. Well, as you can see Dawson got a goose and it was considered a successful trip. Him and his dad had a man's night that Saturday evening. Dawson took full advantage of Mom not being there and ate sugary snacks (see the evidence on the 'upstairs' picture) and drank soda. And to top it off, he was talking to me on the phone while he was doing all this 'forbidden' activity. Not really forbidden but I make it a lot harder for him to get that stuff than dad does. One of the things that Dawson had to call and tell me about was that there was a McDonald's all the way up there! He was completely astonished that they would have one too, all the way on the other side of the earth a McDonald's. Makes you think they might be everywhere if there's one in Carrollton, MO!!?? The next morning Mike told Dawson they had to load up and go home.......and then came the tears, Dawson was digging the man's life and was not ready to head by to civilization and rules. Needless to say, Dawson wants some waders for his birthday.
