"My Sabbath Day"

Ryan took Aidan over to a co-worker's house to shoot. The guy had a 22 rifle and Ryan felt today was the day for Aidan to shoot the gun. On their way back Aidan said to Ryan, "Today is MY Sabbath day." Ryan asked "why is that?" Aidan said, "Because I shot a gun." Ryan said, "So today is a holy day for you." Aidan said, "YES!" The boy was thrilled.

He was so excited to show me his target shooting. Later that night I found this posted on his door signed and dated. How cute is that? A monumental day obviously for this little boy. If you notice too, not a bad shot. He told me that he shot the ten ring out. I had no clue what that meant but I guess it means he shot some bullseyes.

Way to go Aidan!!! Yes, I'm so sad to
admit it but I have a feeling that this is a Gremmert child. The greatest thing in his life is shooting a gun..I'm scared of what that means. AND I'm not quite sure he understands the Sabbath day!
