This weekend Andy was really excited to take Abigail on her first real hunting outing. She has hiked the woods with him before, following our beagles, but never away from home. They went along with a good friend of Andy's, Jeff Mullins, who has two sons that are 6 and 10. The event was a Youth Hunting Day hosted by the Hoosier Tree Dog Alliance at Camp Atterbury, only 30 minutes or so from our house. They listened to a short talk about hunting safety and then hunted squirrels for a couple of hours and afterward had lunch. In the linked photo are (L-R) Abigail, Levi Mullins, Austin (a friend of Levi's), Lane Mullins. Click below to see the photo, taken by one of the hosting conservation officers:

While Abigail was out learning about hunting and conservation, Hannah and I stuck a little closer to home. Her learning for the weekend was all about potty training and she did great! While this is definitely a work in progress, we had some definite success and a couple of minor accidents. She seems to have the concepts down but at only 22 months old, I know it's going to take a lot of practice and wardrobe changes. Here she is, headed upstairs for clean clothes:

So cute! Abby fits right in wearing the camo. :) I'm glad the weekend went so well!
Next time, a great picture would be of Abbs holding the dead squirrel(s). But yeah, that camo looks great, so much better than pink, right Ruthie?
Too cute! Most amazing!!
I don't know which is the cutest -- Abbs in camo or Cupcake as a "nekkabird". Both are adorable!c
