Bow Hunt 08


This was the first year that Jay R. put in for a bow tag and he got one. He was pretty excited about it and so was Trevin. Well there luck came through one Friday evening he jumped on the four wheeler with both the kids and the bow to see if there was anything they could see. Well about five minutes after they left they came flying back to the cabin. I guess they just got up and around the bend and there stood this little two point. Well Jay just couldn't pass it up. He said Trevins eyes were as round as a tuna can, so he let her rip and he actually hit on the first try. Way to go dad! Lucky for us our good friend Owen was there who is also a pro at skinning and gutting a deer so he did all the dirty work for us. He even took the meat home and cut and packed it. We have actually eaten several steaks of this big guy and they were delicious. Thanks to Owen for all your help and hospitality.

Firestation



Teagan went on her first field trip to the Mapleton fire station. She wasn't so sure about the whole idea and kept asking me if they were going to tie her up. So after a little persuasion we made it through. They told them all about fire safety, let them try on the fire uniform and they even went for a ride in the fire truck.

Cornbellies





We went to cornbellies on Friday Sept. 26th with my sister and her family. We chose this day because Jay was working in AF and would be able to meet us there for a couple of hours. We were pretty upset about our visit this year because we payed the full price and then they didn't even have all of the fun stuff up and running yet. My kids were really unhappy that they didn't get to go on the big hay ride.

After we left there we went to Wingers for lunch which was pretty tasty and then we came home and Jay went back to work. I think we will think twice before we return.
