Deer Hunt

I love the fact that my husband loves to hunt. It helps so that we can take a break from our every day lives and enjoy being together and also enjoying the mountains together. This past weekend, we went down to Gunnison for the muzzle loader hunt. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The weather was wonderful and the mountains were beautiful. I got to see most of my family which is always wonderful.

This was a spot where we sat down and relaxed a little bit.


Chris and I were hiking out on this point and the scenery was spectacular, so we stopped and took some pictures.


This next picture didn't turn out like I hoped. There is an awesome black line at the bottom of the picture from my camera bag. So sorry about that. My dad, me, Chris, my nephew Seth, and my brother Derek are in this picture.



Again, another picture of the pretty mountains.

Random Weekend

Last weekend was a little random. My brother Greg and his wife Megan invited us to go water skiing last Friday night. Just Kelli and I went with their family. It was so much fun. I sat in the raft with Kelli and her cousin Katelyn. Kelli was a little scared, so I sat her on my lap. You can barely see Katelyn's head sticking out above the raft.


Here is a picture of Kelli and Katelyn. They are such cute girls.


After a while of playing on the raft and jumping in the water a thousand times, Greg asked me if I would like to water ski. I said, "sure!" I couldn't pass up something like that.



Thanks so much Greg and Megan. That was such a blast. Kelli and I had a great time.

That Friday night, when Kelli and I got home, we got a call from my brother Wade. He invited us down to help out with his sprinkler system the next day. We thought it would be a great idea to head down to Gunnison and help out with the sprinkler system and then do some fishing after wards. So the next morning, after I taught my yoga class, we headed down to Gunnison. Chris did the hard part, working with my dad and brothers on the sprinkler system, while I hung out with my mom and visited my Grandma and cousins. Hey, I offered to help, but my dad told me no. After several hours, my dad and Chris quit working on the sprinklers and I headed up with them in the mountains. My mom was very kind to watch Kelli for me.

I just love fishing in the mountains where I grew up. It is so relaxing up there. We brought our fly rods and fished a little beaver pong. Here are a few pictures of our little adventure. We caught lots of fish. It was so much fun.

Pretty scenery.

After we were done fishing, we decided to put up Chris' trail cam. He recently bought it and we thought we would try it out. With just a little bit of sun light left, we hiked up a hill and found a spot where we felt lots of animals came through and we set it up. In a few weeks, we will check it out and see if the trail cam got any pictures of deer or other wildlife.
