Deer Camp 2009

Over the weekend we all went deer hunting. Ok, well, Walter was the only one that actually hunted. Me and X hung out at the house with Walter's mom. It was unseasonably warm so we were able to spend a lot of time outside which was great. And of course X loved having all that grandparent attention. He got to ride a 4-wheeler with gma Tina and gpa Tom had him up on the big tractor. X thought he was hot stuff raising and lowering the bucket on the front.

Walter shot a doe just before sunset on Saturday. We were all very excited. I never imagined myself as a hunter's wife, but here I am, getting my picture taken with dead animals. My my, how life turns out!

While we were in "the country" for the weekend we also celebrated an early Thanksgiving with Walter's family. X got to play with some of his cousins and the food was fabulous! Thank you Tina and Tom for hosting such a great weekend.

So here's the pics. Let me warn you now that there are shots of the deer that might seem graphic to some. But huntin aint for sissy's!
