Turkeys and Space ships!

Some of you have seen the email that Mitch sent around proclaiming our good news, now it's time for the pictures.

Last Saturday morning Mitch went turkey hunting with Gregory and this is what he came home with this one which is about 22lbs and has a 10" beard:


It's very yummy too - Mitch fried some of it the other night like chicken fingers and both the boys agreed it was the best "chicken" they had ever eaten (okay we later confessed it was turkey and both boys still liked it).

The second bit of good news was we took Logan to his Cub Scout Space Derby that afternoon. His spaceship did really well through the whole event, he won every race but one and that put him in the finals. We just knew he would get 2nd place (and we were thrilled) since he was facing the one ship that beat him already. Then the race started and the other ship took off faster, but it's like Logan's got a second wind and then it blew past the other one. Wouldn't you know I forgot my camera that afternoon, but I did get some great pics at home:


Notice that Mitch was a rocket scientist that day, we all got a big kick out of that. And for those of you that are NASCAR fans - Logan has been #8 at both the pinewood derby and the space derby - I'm just glad that's not Junior's number anymore :)
