The 2015 deer hunt! This comes every year - and every year it seems like we aren't prepared. No tent. No trailer. No place to sleep. No vehicle to get us all up there. No 4-wheeler. No sleeping bags for the kids. It is very frustrating for me. I don't like being so dependent on others for things.
I had a sitter planned for Luke & Alexa, we borrowed a tent from Kevin, and we found rides for the other 5 of us to get up there - then I checked the weather forecast the day we were supposed to leave & it said, rain, rain and more rain. (I had even made camouflage cookies with orange frosting!) We hadn't set up the canvas tent - so we didn't know if we would've stayed dry or not. I chickened out & just sent the boys. That way they were able to stay in a trailer with someone and stay dry. I guess it really didn't rain that much - but the overcast weather made the sky so beautiful for the pictures that Mona took!
Fun on the 4-wheelers!
The boys! They start growing the beards for this hunting week around June. Such a hairy bunch!
I am so happy that Caleb had the opportunity to go spend a few days with his cousins. He doesn't get to see them often. I hope that they bonded and made some fun memories!
Casey had a successful hunt this year. He had to come home a few days before the hunt was over because of my work schedule - and he shot his buck just a few hours before he had to come home. LUCKY! I am so happy that Caleb got to spend time with his dad while he was doing what he loves.
Caleb was so sad because his dad got to stay up on the mountain a couple more days than he did. I mean S A D. Alligator tears sad. I kept trying to teach him to not be sad because it was over - just be happy that he got to go!!

OK...here's the deal...Next year come rain or sunshine, snow sleet or hail, Brittni and any kids that can come better just plan on it!!! The cookies were great but they will never take your place. How thrilled I was to see all those little boys lined up taking crochet lessons from Great Grandma. hahahhahaha that's what it looks like to me, even though I know that's not what was going on. Casey did get a nice deer. hmmm Maybe the beards have something to do with it. I don't know. Caleb is a joy. He's such a good boy. We had a great time, but we need you to come with next time.
Fun memories. Caleb looks so happy. :)
Looks like a perfect time for Caleb to do some one on one with dad. Trust your gut, if you feel like it's too much for you right now then it probably is.
Nice pictures, it looks like everybody had a good time.
