Work, Work, Work

So the last week of September we headed for the hills. It was the Muzzleloader hunt so we wanted to do a little camping/hunting. We weren't very prepared as we forgot the trailer keys, the contact solution, and baby bottles for Caleb, but we made do. Charles and Jacob spent Thursday night up there, and the rest of us went up on Friday. The kids each took an evening to go out on the 4-wheeler with Chuck. While we were in camp we adopted a dog. He must have been lonely because he hung out at camp all evening. He ate out of the fire pit, wandered around, and fell asleep a couple of different times. He was very nice, but having two girls who are deathly afraid of dogs, it was a very frustrating night for me. My kids wouldn't leave the trailer. That is way to little of a space for kids to hang out in hour after hour. Especially when it's nice outside.

Saturday morning we got up, and headed for the cabin. My dad, Blake and some of our relatives were out there putting a new roof on the cabin. So we went to help. We showed up the same time Nolan and Erica did and the boys got to work.
That's my man hanging out of that cage up there, but no worries...my cuz has a good hold of the back of his pants (pretty intimate for a first time meeting.)
And that's Rich clutching the side...completely exhausted. I think he eventually just stopped standing up...too much work.
And that is my entire life reaching for the sun...my man and 3 of my kids. I was pretty dang surprised at how high up that this goes. I wish I would've been able to get a picture of how high they actually were. Nervous....


We had a good time hanging out, and visiting, and eating...of course. After the roof was done we headed back to camp for a few hours, and then pulled the trailer home. It was a busy weekend, but fun!
