What Did You Do Over The Weekend?

What I did over the weekend was REALLY fun.  I went to my dad’s farm that my Baba owns, and I did lot’s of stuff there.  Since my dad is going to be there every weekend now, I thought that I might as well go with him too.  I’ve got nothing else better to do, so like I said I might as well.  So, let’s get into what I did this weekend:

Like I said, I went to my dad’s farm and did lots of stuff there.  When we arrived, we spray painted a fort that we made the weekend before that. (We were going to use the fort to hunt in because it would be more comfortable than just laying down and standing up on the wet grass).  We spray painted it camoflauge (we just used a lot of colors, not an actual bottle of spray paint colored camouflage) so it can blend in with all of the trees and the other stuff behind it.  So we spray painted that, the we had to get it to our hunting spot.  That took quite a while, like two hours or something like that, but it was still reasonably fun.  We got it there by using a skid steer ( which I will explain in a moment), my dad’s truck and a trailer.  A skid steer is a heavy duty machine that is similar to a forklift but bigger and better.  My dad was the one who was controlling the skid steer, and two other people were driving the truck.  My dad lifted the fort up with the two forks (the big things that you use to lift up the object, not the forks that you eat with) on the skid steer up onto the trailer and then we strapped the fort down on the trailer.  We strapped the fort down because we didn’t want it to fly off when we were trying to get it to our hunting spot.  So we did that, and then set it down onto the ground.

My dad had to drive the skid steer to the hunting area, so… I did something fun.  I drove the skid steer back to our farm.  Those things are so fun to drive, I want one of my own.  So I got into the heavy duty machine and it looked really cool inside.  There was two joystick things two move it, and there was also lots of buttons.  My dad sat down in it first and then I sat in his lap.  My dad told me how to drive it.  It’s actually quite simple.  The left joystick is to move, and the right joystick is to control the forks.  I didn’t use the forks for anything, but it was still fun to drive.  You move by pushing forward or backward on the joystick thing.  To move forwards, you push forwards.  To move backwards, you pull backwards.  You can also turn side to side (I don’t know which vehicle wouldn’t) by pulling left or right.  So, I drove back to the farm and then we went and practiced our aim with our guns.  (Me and my brother didn’t, but the adults were).  We have a long private shooting range which is actually quite handy.  We use it to practice our aim.  It’s just common sense, like why else wouldn’t we have a shooting range.  Anyway, to keep ourselves occupied, (me and my brother), we drove around some of the fields that we own.  We drove around the perimeter so we wouldn’t wreck the crops..  We did that for like an hour so by then it started to get dark.  We went back to camp and sat around the fire for like 30 minutes.  After those 30 minutes, we went scouting to see how big of does and deer we could find.  I was the youngest one there, so I found the most.  (I still have young eyes).  when we got back it was around 8:30 and we sat around the fire a bit more.  I was really tired when we got back, but I stayed up for like another hour.  After that hour I was REALLY tired after that one hour so I went straight to bed.

What did you do over the weekend and was it fun?

Have you ever driven something unique or has any of your family driven one?

Have you ever hunted before or has any of your family?
