Another day at work. We had a great weekend. It was the annual deer hunt, (actually the annual deer hike and come home exhausted weekend). We really had a blast. Mark, Nick, and Alex went camping on Friday with Todd and Jeff and I. We went out Friday morning and got camp set up and then just enjoyed the afternoon and evening. Mark made some wonderful stew that we all enjoyed. We had a nice camp fire and slept like baby's (nice and warm) with the camp stove that fits inside of Nick's tent. Really a lot of fun. The weather was so nice you couldn't help but enjoy it. We got up early Saturday morning and had a yummy breakfast and Uncle Scott and his boys, Tyler and Devin showed up about that time so we gathered up our hunting supplies and headed out. We had only been hunting for about 1/2 hour when Uncle Mark spotted a nice buck and was able to get it. He always manages to get a deer weather any of the rest of us see any or not.
Jeff had gotten his hunters safety badge this fall so he had a 22 and was hunting pine hens. We saw a few and he started to shoot at them. After a shaky start he managed to hit one and was really excited about it. After that first one he became deadly with his shooting and was able to get two more. He impressed me with the third one that he shot. It was a fair ways away and up in a tree and he got it with one shot. It is a big bird and will be really good eating. He was way excited and I was proud of him. I kind of think that he could care less if we say any deer or not as long as we were seeing pine hens. It was a lot of fun being with him and seeing him have fun. I think we all had a great time and enjoyed each others company. Mark, Scott, and I were even able to get in a little nap while the younger guys took a long hike, it was great. Hope all of you are doing well and enjoying good health and strength. We are truly being blessed as a family. We love and appreciate all of you our friends and family.
