My Date With Daddy

This morning started early, getting up before 8 and getting Banana's hair in a bun for her return to the Ballet World. Cinderella rehersals began today...the break is over. She was excited, although she probably would have been even more excited if it had been a little later. Kearsdad got in the car and headed to the carpool pick up/drop off point for those of us on this side of the Rez...no sense in all of us driving all the way to MadLand. He took the girls, went inside to find out how long they would be there, and headed back.

But that wasn't the date. Banana returned home from Ballet, took her hair out of the bun, put the ballet shoes and tights away, and changed clothes. She is now dressed in Camo, armed with a camera and a pair of binoculars, and on her way to her first hunt with her Daddy. She's been asking since last year when Kearsdad resumed his hunting life after a long 18 year break (that's a post for another day...). Although I don't relish the idea myself, I am truly thankful for this opportunity for some Daddy/Daughter bonding time. Kat decided to forgo it for now...maybe later she says. But she does want to go fishing. Lucky for her, Kearsdad's good buddy (aka boss) has a pond on his property.
