Month of the Military Child, Part Three

Okay, so I was really planning to share a few photos each day.  But the time running back and forth from the farm to the county fair has made things a bit challenging in that regards.
So here are a few more of what my military kids do....  They shoot archery...
They take chickens and goats to local school and help teach about animals and farming...

They use Phoenix chicken feathers to go punk for fun...

They load wagons full of poultry to weigh them systematically for their projects.  Funny, the chickens line up for attention from him!

They name little chickens Trooper after the "camo" feathers they have, then win showmanship ribbons with them...

There is always the outgrowing grandma part, too...

They take advantage of learning opportunities to improve themselves AND the things they believe in...

They PLAY.  They find ways to make every day fun, from walking Grandma's dog to training time.

Military kids aren't different from other kids, except that they may move more, be required to help at home more in a full family regularly missing a parent, or worry more, stand up for siblings while they all miss someone important at birthdays and school events, and more.  Give them some time and understanding.  They are giving you something very important- a share of their parent.  Enjoy your night!  I think I have some more fun photos for tomorrow!
