moose and deer

When Keith goes out of town we really try to make sure he says goodnight to Caroline before bedtime. He's been gone to the ranch on a hunting trip for a couple of days now. This was the content of their conversation the other night:

Keith: "Hi, Caroline how are you?"

Caroline: "Bring home deer daddy."

I eventually get the phone back and proceed to put her into bed and we have a little conversation:

Lauren: "Caroline, do you know where daddy is?"

Caroline: "hunting trip"

Lauren: "What is daddy hunting?"

Caroline: "Moose and deer."

Keith is obviously not hunting moose, however, I'm sure he wishes he was. I think she is picking up on the moose from when he takes her to Sportsmans Warehouse she see all the mounts on the walls.

Then, this morning I thought I'd revisit our conversation:

Lauren: "Caroline, what is daddy hunting?"

Caroline: "Moose, deer, and elk."

Again, I'm sure Keith wishes he was hunting moose and elk.

Keith is on his way home right now with 3 doe in the back of the truck. I know Caroline is expecting to be able to see them because as you can tell she's been talking about it all week. I'm not sure however how I feel about her seeing the deer dead...this is to be determined(if I let her look.)

**PS**For all the animal right activists out there---we do actually eat the deer!
