Back from camping/hunting AND Alan turned 11....

Well, I made it through another camping trip.............kinda!!! LOL It was cold, VERY wet and LONG. But Rich had fun!! He HE The leaves were changing it was beautiful!!! I just can't get over all the colors. These are some of the pictures from our camp site.

This is poor Alan he LOVES to go camping and hunting. My moms husband has been taking him since I think he was 5 and this is what he does everytime........

He throws up. Usually it is just the first morning BUT this time it was every morning. He is fine after and ready to eat.I am not sure if it is nerves, excitement, anxiety all of the above. Jim says that if it were him and got sick EVERY time he went hunting he woudn't go. Umm me either!!!

So, here are a couple of things my kids get to do BUT I never got to (my mom is going to HATE this LOL) Light a piece of wood on fire with a magnifying glass. Have a gun. Eat cake batter (for Dutch oven cobbler)

Look at that face and I mean look.............see the bar-b-que sauce on his face!! LOL Alan wanted ribs for his birthday dinner and since I couldn't make a cake camping he went for Dutch oven peach cobbler!!! And this is his new scope for his 22 he was so excited and surprised. He is getting a new bike for his birthday and Rich ordered it, it is from the WHOLE family (thanks everybody) and it will be here in a few days and he doesn't even know. All he talks about is this bike. Pictures to come SOON!!!Here are some random shots of the family.Rich making biscuits and gravy for Alan's birthday

Rich bought this hammock for himself to relax when we go camping but the kids took it over and it keeps them busy for hours!!!Our first attempt at a Dutch oven dinner, chicken and rice it was GREAT!!!OK what song comes to mind when you see this picture...................."The hills are alive with the sound of music......" He HE The first thing Ellie likes to do when we camp is catch bugs. Check out that cricket.

And I save the best for last(well, for a reason)(eye roll) Rich got a deer...

Check out the butcher room ( the garage) so sanitary!!!!!

So you can imagine Rich and Alan are very happy, Me not so much see what I get to do.........So I am off to do lots and lots of smelly laundry. Wish me luck..............

Much love, Sherrie
