It was windy and Hunter was cranky...

So this afternoon my son and I hopped into the truck, and we headed to Ma Ma's house to see if she wanted to go to see the big wind turbines they have been erecting in West Central Indiana. She did! She quickly jumped in the passenger side of the truck and off we went, looking for the new wave of energy that will eventually wean us off of foreign oil.

After about 20 minutes into the ride Hunter who usually falls asleep when we go on a truck adventure, did again today for a brief 10 minute spell, but then after stopping and rolling down the windows to listen to the massive wind turbines, he woke up. Boy, he couldn't believe his eyes! These are the pictures I took this day: (Next time, I will post on you tube so you can hear them for yourself. They aren't as loud as I thought they would be.)







These pictures really don't do these justice as far as how large they are. If you double click on the second picture you can see a generator (i think) at the bottom of the wind turbine which is about 6 feet tall!

Phone call

This afternoon/early evening I hear my phone ringing, but to no avail can I find my phone! So I hit the button that tells me where the phone is...and I search for it...It was underneath a pile of pillows that Hunter and I were playing with. I peer at it, thinking who may be calling me.

It's Dreamer..not his real name. He asks, "Can I bring something down to show me?", and he says it's hunting related. So of course, I say, "Yes, bring it on down." I figured it must have been something with deer because this guy has harvested a monster 140" plus deer and has many impressive deer on his property.

Lo and Behold...

He finds what I have searched for on purpose 2 times before.. antlers!

But these aren't shedded antlers...this is a remarkable, unbelievable set of antlers with deer skull. Check it out!



Dreamer could probably sell this on Ebay and get a nice bit of money for it, but when do you ever come across that..Hunter and Dancer? He probably never will again. What would you do??

4 Wheeling Kid Style


Dancer and Hunter received a gift last year that makes them look like seasoned hunters. As you can tell by the picture, the gift was an electric 4 wheeler. Obviously Dancer was getting too big for the small car she used to ride and Hunter doesnt want to be riding around in a pink car that Dancer had for quite a few years. Here are some pictures from today:

(..Hunter was at home with Mom..you'll get your chance sometime in the years to come)This picture she is SO Serious but after a while....
