What a beautiful view... see any deer Brandon?
Freezing in the tent perhaps??

Brandon had his first hunting trip with papa and uncle Mike at the end of October, and dad sent along a few great pictures from their time in the mountians of Colorado... and Brandon sent me a short story of thier time together! Enjoy -

From Brandon...
"Well we set up camp on Friday, October 31st. The first day was just relax and kick back before waking up early in the morning for the first day of hunting. Me and my uncle Mike played football to help pass time. One day we played football for about an hour and wouldn't stop till one of us got a behind the back catch, I was the first to do it of course. Battleship was another thing I had to upset Mike and Papa in. I tried not to make 'em cry. Our house (i.e. tent) was pretty warm and comfortable until the third night in. It started to rain but it didn't bother me at first, but where I was sleeping the rain would bother me. I was sleeping under the stove vent which happened to be a little open. I was woken up by a splash of water right on my face, it was the rain pouring in through the vent. So me and papa had to shift my cot to the middle of the tent, then move a bucket under the dripping water and I was suppose to sleep next to that. But all in all I had fun and already ready for next year."
