Huntin' deer

First, Lucas got a camouflage outfit from Grandma.  Then, he got to see daddy's deer that he shot during deer season.  For his birthday, Uncle Brian gave him a wooden pop gun.  (There is a cork on a string that "pops" when you slide the barrel forward.)  Ever since, Lucas loves to hunt deer.  And of course, he must wear his boots while he hunts deer.

So it was no surprise when he was drawn to this arcade game.

I love his "wow, look at this" reaction in this photo.

I wish you could hear his little voice when he and daddy proclaim it is time to go huntin' deer. He does not say the 'g' on hunting and the 'r' on deer sounds like a 'w.' Plus, he says it in a deep voice and the word 'deer' has multiple syllables.

As a motherly disclaimer, Lucas does not point guns at people, play with real guns, or have an unsafe obsession with guns.  He's simply all boy and I love it.
