This past week and weekend flew by because we were so busy. On Tuesday, we went to Ryan's brother's flag football game. We cheered him on as he played both defense and offense. At one point he almost scored. Those little legs of his carried him so fast. I was sure he was going to make a touchdown.
Church on Wednesday was terrific. I'm participating in a parenting class led by Dr. Ted Tripp. It is a biblically-based study on how to parent understanding that we react out of our heart. It helps you to focus on pointing the child to God for their heart problems instead of manipulating them to behave.
On Thursday we headed to the Zoo that was having a Wildgame Cook-off sponsored by Alabama Wildlife Federation. I tried quail, duck won tons, frog legs, venison gumbo and wild turkey bbq. It was all so good. These cooking teams really knew how to prepare the animals so they didn't have that gamey taste. This was a wonderland for Will. The kids were able to ride the carousel and pet the animals. There was a llama that was giving a little girl a kiss on the cheek.
On Friday, we rented a movie Speed Racer. What a terrible movie. I thought it would be for kids, but there were more than 5 curse words and it was poorly done. The cartoon stunk and so did the movie. While they were watching that, I was catching up on laundry and preparing for Ryan to go to his dad's for the day.
At 5:00AM, Ryan headed off with his dad and brother to go dove hunting and fishing. Ryan was excited to tell Will about the catfish he caught. And he was filthy when he got home. I had him to undress on the frontporch and head straight to the tub. Boys will be boys!
After he got home, bathed and dressed, we headed off for Atlanta for our weekend. We got to our hotel at 3:30 and checked in.
