A week after Christmas Bracken got a present from our neighbors a couple of doors down. His very own BB gun! We are seriously surrounded by the Best neighbors! (And yes, they checked with us beforehand.) Oh my goodness, to say Bracken has been delighted is a huge understatement. He is over the moon! He read the manual for his bedtime reading. He's written letters to his cousins and uncles and neighbors and friends to let them know he has a CO2 pistol BB gun that splits army men action figures, and that they need to come visit and shoot it with him. I hope his primary teachers were able to get a word in edge wise on Sunday because he was bursting at the seams to tell his class about it. He tells anyone who comes to our house about the safety and the magazine and how to hold a bb gun safely and all the rules surrounding it.
Brian grew up shooting army men action figures with BB guns. Bracken also likes shooting at targets and balloons because they're easier to hit. But he is super excited every time he knocks an action figure over.
Whenever Brian has an afternoon at home now, Bracken wants to go shooting. He earns his BBs by doing his studies and chores happily...it works perfectly, rationing out the BBs so they last a while, encouraging industry, and super special fun time with dad. Thank you Pinegar's!
