Kids, the cabin, and deer!

So, you look at the title and what more could we ask for???  Okay, sleep would have been kind of nice, but that just didn't seem to be in the cards for us over the weekend.  But, we still had a wonderful time! 
Friday we got up super early and headed to the cabin.  We made it there just as it was getting light and unloaded our gear.  Then we headed out to see if we couldn't find some mule deer does.  We are the epitome of meat hunters this year...  We are trying to get the freezer filled up, cause sometimes hunting with two kids really can be challenging.  But, the luck on our side this weekend and we were able to harvest some beautiful, big mule deer does. 
This is one of the little ponds that connects to Willow Creek Reservoir.
 Miss Kimber hanging out while we were taking care of one of the deer. 
 Dane and his daddy with one of the does.
 The whole family with Clint's deer.
 Clint is holding up a snake skin that we found.  That is one big snake...  I guess I didnt' really think of rattlers being in that area, so I'm hoping it was a big bull snake!!!  :)
Once again, can you see how awesome my hubby is.  Yes, he has Kimber in the sling, and Dane in the Kelty.  It was my turn to shoot so he was on kid duty!  Yes, I am a lucky gal!
As everyone can see it was super fun.  Friday was a great day, but it was pretty long and by the end we were all beat.  Unfortunately, Kimber wasn't super happy about the sleeping arrangements and woke us up about every hour, and it wasn't just to eat.  It was the crying, unhappy baby.  But, we made it through and even got to sleep in a little on Saturday.  Dane did get to "camp out".  I took his little tent and set it up in the cabin.  Then I added a sleeping pad and a sleeping bag and he had quite the set-up.  He thought he was pretty cool!!!
Now we are back to the normal weekly schedule with work and such.  Poor little Dane has an ear infection so he was sick today, but hopefully he is on the mend.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that this doesn't become a recurring thing again.
