Sept 30, The Deer hunt

As usual we had a dang good time at deer camp. Sometimes we had to work at having fun, but it was all good.  The wind and the rain and the cold was all there in full force. Some years it is warm and sunny and other times it is not. We had 11 kids and 7 adults there. Me and my 3 girls, Josh and his 4, Jake and 2 of his, Justin and Keanna, Nick and Abby, and the 2 Grandpa's Dad and Allen.  We saw a few bucks but were never able get to them.  At 4 am we had had enough of the wind and rain. We had tarps, a canopy, and camp supplies strung all over the place from the wind. The stove pipe came off and filled the tents with smoke. So we packed up and headed home.
We still had a ton of fun.  The kids played games, went on a few hikes, rolled rocks, looked for deer, and giggled a lot.  Somehow in all the fun, I was able to keep track of Sierra and Lindsey's meds.

Back home Hunter had his 7 year old birthday party, and Aunt Garrity had a baby shower. Stacy may have some pictures of that.

This week Sierra and I are heading to Calif on Thursday. Sierra has IVIG on Friday. Not exactly sure how we are getting there, but we are working on it.
