2012 marks our 3rd year of hunting "wabbits" as a family. for some reason we always hunt them near Easter and it just seems wrong to be shooting sweet little bunnies! but, it hasn't stopped the Kroons! this year, we thought it would be fun to add a friend to our annual trip... so Parker's good buddy, Caden, came along!
the four kiddos hiking along the road... they were so cute how they stuck together, chatting away and enjoying each other's company!
Nerf guns were a new addition this year. Parker is the only one that has any experience shooting a real gun but I thought the other 3 would have much more fun on the long hike if they could pretend they were also shooting! 
The best part about our bunny hunting trips... is the panoramic view! We watch the weather forecast carefully to ensure warm enough temps and I am continually amazed at how this place always has bright blue skies!
Kep is our packhorse and Savannah fully enjoyed her plush ride in the Chariot. Her little legs needed a break after tromping through the snow for a few hours.
The boys' legs however did not get tired so they would post~hole through the deep snow... whatever it took to get a rabbit! Fortunately, our new camera has an awesome zoom to capture the four of them attempting to be sneaky hunters!
yup... all their post~holing was worth it, Kep shot the first bunny and the boys fetched it!
Caden LOVED every part of the day and thought it was so cool to be able to open and close the bunny's mouth and see his teeth! 
Now, it's Parker's turn so Kep is reminding him how to aim... the score was 2 for Parker, 2 for dad!
boys will be boys... a wrestling match will always break out, no matter where you are!
Successful day... 4 happy children, awesome weather, 4 "wabbits", and new memories... what a blast!

What a supportive wife/mom you are! I don't know if I could handle it...bunnies are sweet/cute/lovable and that probably comes from having one as a pet for a few years. Do you all eat them once you get home? I've never had rabbit before.
hey Ashley~ we tried eating them the first year... yuck! but, now we pass them on to Kep's teaching buddy who uses them for trap hunting. diff. way of life up here!
I really don't think Caden will soon forget bunny-hunting with Parker! Awesome memories they're making together. Love it.
