Kylie's First Deer!!!

Who'd have thought it would be so much of a buzz!!??? Now I can see why Rik loves going out hunting so much! Think he'll regret taking me though, cos i'll wanna tag along all the time now, and never let him take a shot.
We went for a deer at Tom Bryant's place over in Canvastown, had to do a little stalking and crawling to get a good spot, right on nightfall, but it was a perfect first shot, through the heart at about 150m with the 7mm .08 - powerful loud gun, that kicked back and gave me a good crack on the nose!
Rik was looking through the binoculars, "You've missed it" he said. "Really?" I dunno how I'd hit one then because I thought I aimed it pretty well. So we went for a walk to have a look around further up the valley, and then came across the deer which had just dropped over the brow of the hill. Can't wait for the next trip now.... :o)

Mahana School Family Fiesta

Heaps of people came to eat, drink, and have some fun at the school Fiesta on Saturday evening! Izzie was a backup singer for her bud, Taylor - they sang "There's Something in the water" by Brooke Fraser. Jed and his classmates all performed a dance.
TP's Woinderful waffle Emporium was Tom and Pako's stall, they made yum waffles and raised $103 for the fair. Some of the Makos came along and Jed was their tour guide. Glen, Ben, Chris and Sam were there and Sam went for a dunk in the pool.

Had a lovely time away in the school holidays at the Busby's bach in Parapara. Boys did a spot of kayaking and beach art, and cricket - also had a big walk all the way to Collingwood!! The weather went cold so we wrapped up and ate food while watching the Commonwealth games on the telly!! Jed had his 8th birthday too- great fun at the Mot Top 10 Holiday Park. Fav pressies were his Makos top, and hunting gear!
