This week Monday started Illinois' first, of five, turkey season which is the week Jason got drawn for. As his luck or skill (depending on who you ask :-) ) would have it he got a bird Wednesday morning. He has quite a story to go with his bird, but if you want to hear it you will have to ask him- I'm sure I couldn't do it justice, especially over the internet! However, I was told to put some details in the blog along with these pictures. The turkey weighed 23 lbs and was double bearded which added to the excitement as it was his first double bearded bird and his first Illinois bird!
Jason's turkey wasn't the highlight of the week though. Jason's brother Justin & his wife Megan had their baby Monday evening. They had a little boy. His name is Rhett Hunter and everyone is doing well.
We have had a lot of rain so far this spring and our yard has just been a mess, but this week it finally started to dry out. Jason was able to get back out soil sampling and get out of the office. Then last night the rain started back up and it was back to the office for Jason and our yard is now flooded again. The good news is Jason does not have to work this weekend and we are going to be able to go back to Missouri. Jason & I are excited that we will be able to see Rhett and I'm sure I will have pictures to post next week of the cute little guy!
Here are the turkey pictures
