Okay, anyone who has ever seen Christmas movie "The Christmas Story" will probably make the connection with the title of this post & the photo of B. Yes, he is holding a Red Ryder BB Gun. LOL
My hubby is an avid hunter & has grown up around guns. We want to instill that in our boys as well the safety mind that is needed as well. So they are going to start with a BB gun. B did not know he was going to be getting one. My hubby, his dad, & brother all wen to KTP (aka Kittery Trading Post) today. My hubby was getting some things he had been saving forever for - he amazes me about how well he can save, but I digress.
Just as they were leaving the store, my FIL mentions to my hubby that he hadn't done the "bb thing" for B. So off they went & B was floating all the way home I think! His uncle even bought him something like 6,000 BBs for it!!!
Unfortunately, it was dark by the time they got home. Hubby made B sit down & read the safety manual & then my FIL & hubby took him out on my in-laws deck & let him do three shots. My FIL is a certified Hunter Safety instructor & he helped B with his shots. The gun resides in our bedroom & poor B hasn't had it since, but he's still pretty psyched about it.
