1st hunting trip

We went on our first family hunting trip this past weekend. One of Cody's clients has a small cabin up around the San Angelo area, so we took advantage of his hospitality. We arrived Friday night, Cody wanted to get up bright and early Saturday morning to start hunting. We decided it would be too cold for Bryce to tag along that morning and he would have to wait until around noon. Cody, of course, was the only one hunting, we figured Bryce was not ready just yet to shoot a deer. We mainly hung out in the cabin for the weekend, no shopping trip for me. Cody shot a small deer, was a buck, but no horns yet. So, while he was cleaning it, I babysat the client's two children while he helped Cody clean the deer. The girl was only 5 days older than Bryce and the boy was 1 month younger than Grayson. Luckily, Grayson slept the whole time that I watched the kids.

This is the cabin that we were staying in. It was a tight fit and a little noisy, but we all had fun.

Grayson enjoyed her first hunting trip, slept mostly. I had to get her this little outfit to mark the occassion.



The only person I forgot to get some camoflauge for was Wyatt. He went out on Sunday with Doug and Cody, just for a brief period. It was warmer on Sunday, so you could not keep him in the cabin. Can only keep them locked up for so long.



Cody wanted to make sure I was able to shoot this 45 caliber, before we left for home.
Bryce was complaining of a stomach ache and did not want his picture taken. Around 3:30 that night he woke up puking in the loft area. I am starting to think it is the medicine that he is taking.
