Elk Hunt and home

Well, it was that time of year again.  Matt left for elk hunting in Colorado on Thursday and got back Thursday.  It is a lot different with 2 kids and being alone.  We managed, but we were glad when he was back.  

Matt saw elk this year, but did not get one.  5 of them went this year and Matt P. did get a cow.  He took a few pics, but he didn't want to be my guest blogger. ha ha.

 Matt and Chris hiked to the top of the mountain on Friday so they would be there early Saturday morning (opening day).  It rained on them, so he said it was pretty miserable.  Here is their camp.

 

They made a make shift clothesline to dry their clothes.  On Saturday he said it was this foggy and they couldn't see too far ahead, so it wasn't a good opening day. :(

Matt P. got an elk on Sunday night.  So, they all went to help with it.

Matt said the hind quarter that he was carrying was around 100 pounds.

 

 

The hunters and their rides!

 

 

Back at home, Hudson was learning to sit by himself.

 

 

 

Thank you, thank you , thank you Aunt Gigi for coming to be with us.  We had so much fun with you and Mommy was able to get some work done at the school!  :)

 

 

Fun times with Gigi!

It was a long 7 days.  Hudson and Lily were great!  I didn't get a lot done, but I got in some important mommy/kid time.  :)
