Big Boys and Their Toys

Just like a kid, I caught my hubby in the backyard this morning with his new toy.

The girls never know what to buy him for Christmas and birthdays so they both decided to give him gift cards for Cabelas...the big boy's toy store! Earlier this week, we stopped by Cabelas for him to make his selection. When we walk thru the doors, he's kind of like a kid in a candy store! There are so many cool things to look at and so little time! This time, he had already decided what his purchase would be.

He's not one for big game hunting, although he would enjoy it if he had the opportunity. Usually, he gets in a couple of mornings hunting during dove or quail season and on occasion has gone squirrel hunting, to satisfy the hunter in him.

Fortunately, he's almost as happy with his new pellet gun, doing target practice in the backyard! He's worked his tail end off, doing some side jobs to help with finances recently, so I enjoyed seeing him having a little fun this morning! One of the things I love about him is that he enjoys such simple things in life!

So glad those gift cards were a good idea! Wow, who knew he would have so much fun with his new "toy!" I'm glad to see him taking time to enjoy life.

I am glad that he found something as well. I love watching him get so excited in the store trying to look at this and that and telling us how diffrent things work.

What a cool toy! Alvin had a blast shooting it - he talked about it nonstop. :)
