This year Kevin decided to take Hadlie and Tyson up the first weekend of the Elk hunt. Boy were they excited they went! I was nervous that HAdlie would be a little bit miserable and cold becasue of all the snow. But she insisted she wantes to go and Tyson was a no brainer. If he has the chance to head out on hte mountains and hunt..hes in!
Well this picture explains exactly why i was not there. I hate the cold with a passion! I admire the ones who could care less about the snow (obviously the rest of my family) but i on the other hand would like to save myself from being called a whiner and stay home :)

They really did have a great time! Uncle Rodney went up too and from the sounds (and pictures of it) they all had a blast. Tyson liked sporting his "dandies" (Kevs long johns) and i decided after all the stories that made no sence to me but continued to make them laugh.
Well as you can see the hunt was a success..whew we wont starve! And Kevin was so proud of Hadlie and Tyson and all there help. The 3 of them packed this guy out all by themselves and it was no picnic. Anyone who hunts with Kevin knows he goes where normal sane people don't care to go o and yes takes the kids too. If you ask Tyson his version of the hike out was horrible (though he had a blast) because he literally packed his weight. Hadlie..well he'll tell ya. "i font know what shes talking about. She packed a pack with a rope in it and i was still passing her"...we will now just leave it at that. She was a trooper though and found the experience exhausting but also fun too.
O i just love these guys!
Umm did i mention i am married to Elmer Fudd??? And Elmer shot a grouse that was DELICIOUS! You betcha we cooked er right up when they got home. And wished we had more!
The next weekend Kevin took up Davis and Cole. They thought since he had got his Elk they were going to completely miss out. Never doubt Kevin will find and excuse to head back up. And Rod hadn't got one so they HAD to go ya know.
Rod brought up Cassidy and once again they hiked and played and had a ball! Notice mother nature decided to be nice this weekend. Amazing isn't it!
Oh, how Wyoming has changed me. I used to be horrified by hunting, now I'm just thinking sweet, I want to try it some time! You guys should come up here and go camping next summer!!!
