We headed to the mountains on Friday after work. The weather when we arrived wasn't bad and we all slept pretty good. Except Randy, Ashes (our dog) insisted on giving him kisses all night. The hunters (Clinton, Randy, Justin and Ray "my Dad") left Saturday morning around 5:00 am. Tyler woke up and said "is Grandpa's going to shoot Kudou". I think if I would have let Tyler leave with them, he would have been out the tent before anyone else. However, Grandpa Lynn, Tyler and I enjoyed sleeping in.
Later that morning we left for a hike around camp, trying to find some sign of Elk or Deer. I carried Tyler in the backpack and he seem to enjoy the hike, singing and talking the whole way. I tried explaining to him that we need to be quiet if we wanted to see any Elk but he was having to much fun singing. We had no luck and came back to camp to have lunch with the hunters. About this time is when it started to rain pretty heavy. Tyler and I chilled in the tent and truck while they went back out hunting. We all hung around the fire for a while, when Grandpa Ray was going to leave and asked Tyler if he wanted to sleep over at Grandpa's. Tyler decided he wanted to go to Grandpa's. So I left with Tyler and we stopped at his favorite place for dinner, McDonald's.
The bath and shower that night for Tyler and I was the best part of going to Grandpa's. However, if you were to ask Grandpa and Tyler it would be the secrets and stories they were telling. Tyler said to Grandpa, "I have a secret to tell you". Grandpa went over and said what, when Tyler responded "Tickle Tickle Tickle". Then Tyler said he had another secret, and began to tell a story about hunting. They both told a few stories and then we headed to bed.
Sunday morning we got up around 4:45 am. Way too early. We drove up to camp and met up with Clinton, Randy, Lynn and Justin about 5:45 am. It wasn't raining yet and we hoped for decent weather. After the hunters left, Tyler and I went back to sleep in the Tent. However, by the time Tyler and I woke up it was pouring rain. The hunters got back to camp around 10:00 am, and decided they had enough of the weather and broke camp a day early. Unfortunately, they didn't get a Deer/Elk, but Clinton did see a couple of doe. We visited around the camp fire, had lunch and headed home.
Tyler loved every minute of it and hardly complained. I was so proud of him for toughing the weather. Tyler made this hunting trip a lot of fun and I was glad I went. Here are some pictures of the hunt. Warning: lots of pictures.
