Both Roommate and Harry are northern city boys per say, so Marine was looking forward to introducing them to country living.
Their country experience included (but was not limited to):
- Deer Hunting
- Learning how to shoot a shot gun
- Horseback riding
- Riding 4-Wheelers
- Hiking
E, "So what do you plan to take them to do?"
Marine, "I plan on taking them hunting one morning."
E, "Have either of them ever been hunting before?"
Slight pause
Marine, "Besides Taliban? ....... No."
Needless to say neither of the guys was much for getting up before sunrise to traipse out in the woods to then just sit and wait for a deer to come along.
I can't really say that I blame them.
After that we stopped by the barn and I let both of them ride one of the horses. They both did good for beginners but weren't brave enough to attempt a short trail ride yet.
During the trip I think they ate more food than the normally would in a week!! Southern Fried chicken, BBQ, wings, fried oreo's, mexican ---- you name it.
Marine's grandmother insisted on cooking breakfast one morning for all of us. And who can turn down a grandmother's home made biscuits? We couldn't!
It was a fun and beautiful weekend!
And because it's still November and I still have bloggers block (my version of writers block) I'm going to post some pictures from the weekend and let them do the talking.

I love that he said they have never hunted anything but the Taliban. And hmmm....if Marine has cute, single, mature friends think he'd send them my way? LOL!
great pictures!! it's so pretty where you live!!
that was funny about the list of country things to do... i don't blame them for wanting to sleep in instead of going after bambi :-)
I miss hiking so much! I can't wait to go again. Hope the boys had fun out in the country! Sounds like a blast to me.
