Last week Saturday afternoon the boys needed to get outside, and the weather was calm and still. Wouter had been talking to Gawain about shooting a bunny after his and uncle Jeremy's bunny hunt the week before. So we decided to rug everyone up and go off for a walk anyway. We went accross the paddocks and towards the forest (well, a stand of pine trees). The kids and I stayed behind a bit while Wouter stalked in the forest area ... then from a bit away we heard it, BANG. The rabbit population was minus one. I'm not sure who had a bigger grin on there face when Wouter emerged ... the kids or him. The boys were very interested in the 'bunny' and Gawain wanted to carry his meat home and eat it for dinner. So he did carry it most of the way home. We didn't eat this one for dinner however, the cat got that privilege. So ... all in all, I enjoyed our walk immensely. The boys are old enough not to understand some about safety and being quite, and their Papa is (as always) their (and my) hero and he 'got the bunny Mama.'
