Kellen shooting his first gun.

Kellen had a lot of fun shooting with Dad and Dave... He started with the pellet gun, then went to the smaller rifle, then he thought he was pretty neat stuff- so he wanted to shoot the pistol. But of course Dad thought that Kellen needed to shoot the newest member of his collection and shoot the bigger rifle. Kellen of course thought that was a great idea. The best part about it, is he is a pretty good shot. He hit most of his targets right on! Aaron of course helped supervise and hold some of the weight of the rifles, but Kellen did all the trigger pulling and aiming on his own.

I of course have mixed feelings... he sure does look cute. And his respect for the guns that he has makes me proud. (Good job teaching him about guns Aaron...) but as a mom, you still are always a little unsure about a 3 year old feeling that comfortable around them. I just make sure Aaron puts them away, and continues to teach him about the danger that they can be.

(A few weeks later... they went out again. I don't have a picture of it... but Kellen shot my shotgun for the first time. He was very excited to come home to tell me what he got to do! ~ Aaron, Dave and Kellen went out and 'decorated' their pumpkins... Kellen shot his right on target!)
