Turkey Shoot


My St. Helen kindergarten's November Family Project was to show how I could catch a turkey. Dad thought a picture book might be fun, so we set out to create some construction paper characters and props, including a cartoon gun and bullet. Casey made a great turkey, which Dad and I provided feathers for. Once everything was complete my hunt for Thanksgiving dinner began in my front yard. I spotted Mr. Turkey near the pond and fired away... but he was too quick. Luckily, the local store had plenty of frozen turkeys on hand, which Casey was more than happy to throw in the oven for Dad and me.

Missouri Turkey



My mom took me down to Missour(ah) for Thanksgiving. My uncle Matt has his own house, huge yard and a really awesome john deere riding lawn mower that I didn't want to leave for even 2 minutes. We raked leaves, went to a beautiful state park, visited the canoe rental where my mom and her siblings worked and even deep fried a turkey. Missouri is cool. (My mom likes to hear that.)
