Deer Camp

Well crap. I’m sitting here watching BYU get spanked by TCU. Not pretty, so let’s go back to some happier times earlier this week – our annual October pilgrimage to deer camp. As always, a good time was had by all, specifically Garrett.

It took Garrett all of 30 seconds to find the fire. Thankfully, Aunt Chelsea took right over and helped him find a nice fire stick. He couldn't get enough of it! His face was bright red and he had tears running down his cheeks from the smoke, but still got mad when we would pull him away.
My cousin Jan made her first trip to deer camp. Here she is hanging out with Rickey (her dad).

Chelsea, Garrett, and Pops

Brett got back from hunting and did some fabulous Napoleon Dynamite impressions for us.

Garrett LOVES horses and was itching to ride as soon as he saw Brett. (At least it got him away from the fire for a few minutes...)

It was a day of "firsts" for Jan. Her very first horse ride--and she did great!

We went in the sleep tent and Chelsea and I cracked up to see this on one of the cots. Hmmm...wonder what the hunters talk about when there are no women around...

Garrett loved helping Pops cook us a delicious turkey steak dinner.

Of course, it was a delightful evening and it wasn't even too cold this year. Thanks to all for a great time!

Another happy note...the Aggies actually squeaked out a victory today! HOORAY! Now let's just hope things go better for the Cougs next time.
