Saturday morning bright and early we all loaded up in Todd's truck and headed up to the cabin to see if we couldn't get one more deer this year. Jana came along with us. Kennedy was so excited ha! Grandma Jana doesn't usually go along on the hunting adventures but she did this time and she had fun! It was great! We brushed a bunch of places and her and Kennedy helped watch for deer and spotted ones on the hills. We ate donuts and froze! There are actually a ton of deer on the hillside here.. but they are all does.. that seemed to be the theme of the day! No bucks
We did see a few moose. Saw this nice bull down at a pond for a morning drink
This cow moose ran right at me and finally saw me and ran the other way
We hung the rest of the curtains in the cabin. Took back up all the bedding that had been washed and stored in garbage bags for the winter. The beds stay covered in plastic to keep bugs and dust off when no one is staying there.
Fixed the folding part on the stairs and left the cabin all ready for winter
We didnt get any bucks. We saw one for one bound down the hill when we were brushing. We tried like crazy to brush him out of the trees but no go. So Todd ended the deer season with no deer. I dont think he was too broken hearted. We left hunting and headed back towards home. We were starving and it was way past lunch time so we stopped at this BBQ place in Logan. It was amazing!! Their food is all smoked and so delicious! They have a bunch of homemade BBQ sauces. We ate til our bellies hurt and ate some more. Definitely a must try!
Saturday night we had a family pumpkin carving. This was Kennedys first year carving a pumpkin. She has always painted them. Todd and Jana sent us home with a bag full of a their pumpkin carving kits. I had never used a stencil or fancy carving tools before ha! I'd always just hacked at it with a knife and drawn my outline with a pencil so this was a new experience!
Kennedy was a little beyond excited!
We cut the top off and let her rip out the insides
She was full of it if you cant tell by all the faces shes pulling
We had stencils and then you poked holes along them with a little tool that made it like a dotted line to cut along.
Kennedy picked out a cat to do. Chris helped her carve hers out if you cant tell by how good it looks! Hes been hiding some talents from me! He's a professional pumpkin carver lol!
Mom of the year here forgot to go to the store to buy candles.. so thankfully I keep a supply of glow sticks on hand and we improvised.. all about fire safety you know ha!
Mine.. which apparently several people have told me looks like a fetus in utero.. they thought I was trying to make a pregnancy announcement.. nope no baby in this uterus!
and Chris's
Kennedy was done carving her pumpkin in like 10 minutes.. because all she really had to do was poke holes and we kind of had to do the rest for her. She was bored and kept asking to go play while we did ours. I made her sit with us while we carved ours. Damn it! Its family time and we are all going to have a good happy time together carving pumpkins! I might have gotten slightly Grizwold Christmas Vacation on this family time pumpkin carving ha! Chris got the same speech too! Kennedy sat and cheered us on while we carved "that looks really good mom" "dad your pumpkin is really scary" "you look pretty while youre carving mom" " dad thats a really good line you made"
All in all we had fun and was a really good night together
