The whole family went to the Harrises' dove hunt this year. It was Meg's first dove hunt, and she loved it! It didn't hurt that Pop and most of her cousins were there, or that Uncle Paul gave her cookies and Snickers. The hunt in the sunflower field was slow, so Daddy and all of the children went to another field to look for birds. Daddy looked like the Pied Piper with all of those children following him! Daddy's adventure was a success - he got a limit of doves! The children took turns fetching the doves for him. Jane Gray and Meg loved hanging out with the Hurst girls, and Charlie made a new buddy - Pope Mallette. Charlie announced that Pope was his new best friend! After the hunt, we went to the Harrises' house for the post-hunt party. It rained pretty hard after the hunt, so the children were soaked by the time we loaded up to head home. They didn't mind, though. We all had a great time!
