Pre Christmas week activities


Golf tourney with Matt G. Dylan, and Ryan.  At one point, it was gusting to 48 knots, we played on

A most amazing morning at MINWR duck hunting with Ryan.  Paddling out in the pre dawn hours with a full moon, stars, and crystal clear skies was magical

Ryan in the duck blind.  Some birds flew in, we missed.

Great trip to Jacksonville


On the 40 yard line, row 2 for Jags vs. Skins
I drove up to Jacksonville this Sunday, quite early to go quail hunting with Bob, and to give his two German Shorthair Pointers some field time.  What a fantastic morning in the North Florida uplands.  We got our 10 birds, and the dogs were ecstatic.  How cool it is to watch those dogs take care of business.  Rebecca and Rachel got a ride up to Jax with Rebecca’s 2nd cousin, Jeanine, and we met to go to the Redskins game.  My first game ever.  Bob was able to get us 4 tickets to sit in the Club section on the 40 yd 2 rows up, directly behind the Redskins.  Absolutely fantastic.  Since we had only 4 tickets, I may have accidentally stumbled into the back door as a procession of fans were allowed access.  Good KP training.  Needless to say since the Skins won in the last 3 seconds, 16-13, it was a great experience with some dear friends.  The finale to our Christmas weekend with multiple parties and festivities!!

Some family time with the Laubengayer clan

Duck Season is here

Scouting for ducks at Lake Poinsett at sunrise.......


Florida beauty in the morning.  Hunted at St. John’s with Tim M.  No ducks, but a gorgeous sunrise.

Christmas comes to CB

 A favorite day in Cocoa Beach, just like Thanksgiving day is the day of the Cocoa Beach Christmas parade, followed by the Winter Fest, and followed that evening by the Christmas Boat Parade.  This year, after a morning of duck hunting, we rode bikes to the parade with Aubrey in tow.
Meanwhile, Ryan was visiting Becca King at Fairfield University.
