So I'll try showing you...Here is the beginning of our week-long adventure in elk hunting! Yes, that is snow, beautiful snow. It came down in lovely, large flakes.
This, of course, necessitated an additional spray of waterproofing on the boots!
Fresh snow really is beautiful.
Thursday afternoon was the "Thanksgiving in the Woods Feast." Don't those sweet potatoes look yummy!
Terry lookin' mean - his dinner isn't on the table yet!!
Friday morning was THE day. Bright and early the fearless hunters geared up to slay the beast!
Then disaster struck - Dave slipped navigating the snowy hills and pulled a muscle in his leg - kinda where the leg meets the
torso - kinda in a really bad place - it kinda hurt A LOT! So, he rested for a few hours after limping back much later than we expected him. Yes, I was very worried.

Later that evening the great white hunters watched a Primo's Elk Hunting DVD and stoked themselves up for the next day.
Early Saturday morning he bagged a big bad boy!
Not too shabby!!
Not too shabby!!
Do we look cold?
So, here they are deciding how to hang the beast!
The job is done!
Meanwhile, Bunco mania, Bananagrams, Farkle and Scrabble were what Cathi and I were up to!!
Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed our week in our home away from home.
Fun doesn't even begin to describe it.

That is awesome! It does sound like you had fun. Hope David is feeling better.
You will have to teach me how to cook that stuff. Jared got a deer not to long ago and i am clueless. Sounds like you guys had a great trip it just looks so cold!!!
so what time is dinner??
YUM! I want some!
Maybe dad is getting to old for this if he hurt himself on the first day of hunting...just a thought.
I love the new look of your blog.
That does look like fun. And peaceful. And quiet.
Sooo...when are you having me over for elk?
Other than uncle David's accident, it looked like the trip was fun - and successful. mmmm....elk.
I love the snow. It's gorgeous.
Tell Dad I want Elk Jerky for Christmas!!
If you were going to go where it was cold why not come up to Utah?
Ooh, congratulations David! Impressive, especially while injured. I am glad every thing worked out well. Ah, I am jealous of the snow. Any chance there will still be some elk in Feb?
Michelle, I'll save some just for you!
