| Hunting camp! |
 |
| Hunting camp this year was in the same general area, but in a nicer camp spot. We found the flattest, least icy area for the tent. We only had to shovel a bit to get it dry enough. |
 |
| We set up the tent, started a fire, and then went to find fire wood. This is what we came back to -- a lot of water! It was a muddy pit for a long time. |
 |
| We went up the hill to get firewood, and it was very slippery since all the ice was melting on top of thick ice. We chained up, which was a first for 3 of us! |
 |
| Quicksilver looks nice all chained up! |
 |
| We found a honey hole with four nice dead trees very close to each other. This is Josh hauling his tree down. |
 |
| And Luke with his. |
 |
| This is our bounty! And to think, this didn't even last all week! |
 |
| This was our Thanksgiving Feast, only on Wednesday night. We even had rolls, and a pecan pie for dessert. |
 |
| It was so warm in the tent (still trying to dry the dirt), the boys didn't even need shirts. |
 |
| Ruby found the only dry spot in the tent to rest. |
 |
| Thursday morning we got some wood that was already cut but needed to be split. The boys had fun showing us how tough they are. |
 |
| Love their faces |
 |
| The boys want to call their bedroom at the cabin The Bucks Nest. I think that's so cute since Josh and Daddy have been hunting up here a few times. |
 |
| Thursday before I left we went to go shoot guns. We found a cool irrigation watering hole type thing that was good to shoot off of. |
 |
| Josh was a bit too tall for the stand we had. |
 |
| Ruby was much more comfortable when I let her up onto Grampa's bed. She felt like she belonged here. |
 |
| Thursday after I left, the boys took a hike up the hill across from camp. Love this picture of my little hunters with the camp in the background. |
 |
| Cockleburr city!! |
 |
| This is the boys doing dishes in the river. They even fought over who could wash the dishes! |
 |
| Friday night they had company! Gavin from work and his son Bryce who is Josh's class spent the night and got a taste of the 31 Life. |
 |
| After I went home, Luke got Grampa's Bed. He looks so cozy! |
 |
| More shooting! |
 |
| This is a .45 shell stuck in the target. Nice shot, Josh! |
 |
| I can't stop laughing at these pictures...couldn't choose a favorite. |
 |
| Trouble!! |
 |
| Where did WHO go? |
 |
| So tough! |
 |
| Muddy boots hanging from the roof poles. This was a familiar sight. |
 |
| Luke dealing 31. |
