Super Saturday of Elk Hunting, Tree getting and Shop fire

Like Id mentioned we have been doing a lot of elk hunting. Like morning and night each day. Chris has his tag filled but Todd still needed to fill his. We have been seeing big bucks each day we were out. I finally started taking some pictures. They are right in the middle of the rut so theyve been focused on one thing! And thats not people...
 We found some elk for Todd but they were about 300 yards on the wrong side of the fence and they were headed the wrong way. Its hard to tell in the pictures but it was snowing SO HARD that morning.
 This guy was HUGE but the snow and sage brush obscured a lot of his antlers. If you look close you can see the outlines

 Dad had made homemade cinnamon rolls the day before and sent a pan home with Jana. We had those for breakfast. It was perfect!


 We hunted for a few hours and didnt see any more elk. We drove into the ranch to look and see how many were on Hardware. Daddy was helping K look at the big bull thats in. Hes huge!


 From there we headed to get breakfast and then Christmas trees. It didnt take us long to pick out a tree! Chris really liked this one so we got it.
 Kennedy pretty much slept the entire time. We woke her up to get the tree and for her to play in the snow for a minute.

 Todd and Jana found a tree in the same spot as we found ours so we were done before we knew it!

 We went home and I put up all the decorations inside while Chris and Kennedy worked on hanging lights. 
 We had dinner and were just getting ready to put up the tree when the pagers went off for a structure fire. There was a workshop on fire and we got it knocked down super fast! Someone was taking pictures after we got the fire out and were working on over haul.

 It was so cold outside.. like high teens. My helmet and turnouts were covered in ice by the time we were done.
