Henry and I went on a date today after we took Josh Oliver to school.I let him plan it.
He picked a walk down to Great Grandpa's lake so he could show me the duck blinds.
It seemed like a good idea until we got about 100 yards down the road. It was super windy and below freezing. We dressed warm, but I obviously underestimated how cold it was going to be.
When we got to the blind, he opened it up and we climbed inside. I was ecstatic to find a single glove the boys had left behind from their hunting trip last weekend. I really thought my hand was going to just break off, it was so cold!
We hung out in the "warm and toasty" blind for awhile. Henry told me all about what they do in there, how shot gun shells work, showed me some goose blood on a decoy. He is very knowledgeable!
Here's some of his duck calls:
(He always talks like he's making a documentary when I tape him!)
On our way back we looked for some nice "snowman" rocks--we were just so numb from the cold that an extra five minutes or so didn't make a difference.After that we went to Target and warmed up with some hot cocoa.
I don't really think I want to do it again until it warms up a bit, but it really was such a fun date--and such a very Henry thing to do!
