Congratulations!!! emoDance
What a memory!
I bet you were more torn up than him!
Was that his first bird?
I have a 7 year old girl and 1 year old boy and I look forward to building memories like that with both of them in the future.

You done well!
Congratulations!

I know how you feel after my daughter killed her first two seasons ago, its better than killing your own bird!
Congrats to the little man!

Haven't been there and done that yet but I know I was able to be apart of my Dad killing his first bird and that was utter excitement. Much better than me ever killing anything. I can't wait for my little ones to get the opportunity.
I think the only thing better would be to see them accept the Lord!
Once again congratulations!
