One and Only One

We made it up to the mountains over Labor Day for our only camping trip of the season. (sad sigh) It was beautiful and cool albeit a bit busy because of the bow hunt. Mahonri and Melissa took Isaac up with them a little early to look for elk. I guess Isaac was a bit . . .concerned. . . that we would get to the trailer before they did so they drove to the trailer, but it ended up that we got there kind of late that night.

I was up pretty early the next morning, probably because Afton had her feet in my back most of the night, so I took a little walk pretty close to camp. I spotted a doe grazing pretty close to the trailer then another doe with a small buck down the road a little. I did manage to get a very dark and blurry photo of him, but at least I had my proof. Shooting it with my camera was better than anyone else I saw though. When I made it back to camp everyone was waking up. Grandpa and the kids took a little walk around camp while we were getting breakfast ready. The boys threw a football around for a bit and did their best to make it into the only mud puddle by the trailer. I had fun doing the girls hair in braids, which was how my mom used to do my hair when we went camping. Bonnie had fun putting on grandpa's hat. Then we packed our lunch and loaded into the suburban so Isaac could do a little fishing at Willow. All the kids had fun and they did catch one fish which Afton affectionately named "Spotty". Khora got a little too close to him in the water and ended up getting her feet wet, of course. It was a nice trip though and a great weekend together.
