The Bow Hunt 2016

Lyla Rose 

At this moment I was thinking, can't I always have a 20 month old to sit at my table and keep me company!?!

This year the bow hunt felt different. Usually it's me alone camping with quick visits from Brock during the day to replenish his food, and take a nap. This year it rained, and rained and then was sunny and then rained and rained. So Brock only went up the mountain a few times. It was still fun though, and even in the rain, there is no other place I'd rather be then Willow creek!




The weekend before labor day we decided to spend Friday night- Saturday night up at willow creek (the corrals anyway) and drop the trailer off so that we wouldnt be worried about getting a spot during the Labor day weekend. Since we were just going overnight we thought it would be fun to take Aurora And Audrey with us! 6 kids under 8 and only 2 adults was a bit crazy but so worth it to get to spend time with those cute girls! They had a blast! Isaac also made his first kill shot, shooting at a pot gut. He was pretty proud! After he fired the first shot the poor creature ran toward the girls and I, lets just say there was a lot of screaming and running away!! It was a fun weekend!

The next week we went up Thursday night and stayed until Sunday night. My parents were there along with Dallen, Colt and Kate and Wyatt and Dakota showed up the last day too. It was a fun camp to have so many people there! It kept us entertained anyway!

I love being in the mountains with my family! Every time we spend time up in those mountains I just think in my head, this is right, we are doing the right thing. This is exactly what these kids need! Time to disconnect from the day to day stresses we all face, and time to reconnect to what matters most....Our family!!
