a hunting we will go....

Through wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow and even a couple sunny days (yeah!) we made it home from our annual family hunting trip. If you are like the other 98% of people who I tell we are going hunting to, you are probably thinking.....'what, you mean the women and children go hunting too?' Well, yes, in the Button family they do. And after 9 years of marriage and about that many hunting trips I can now say I am fully accustomed to the idea. And it is actually a lot of fun (yes--a lot of work too) but mostly a lot of fun. Making memories is what counts and I am looking forward to what the kids remember about our hunting trip as they grow older. Here are some picture highlights of our 4 day stay in the great outdoors.....

Our fam, on a log in camp---right before heading home!
Anna having fun 'riding' the quad.

The little boys--Wyatt, friend Cade and Will in front of their VERY OWN fire pit. Will orchestrated hauling rocks over to form the pit and the big boys helped them light a fire. They were so proud of their accomplishment!

Just an adorable picture of the hunters and my kiddos. L-R: JT, Wyatt, Papa, Anna, Craig and Will.

Papa's Buck!!! Yeah!! It was a 4x6 for all you hunting types.

That looks like so much fun out in nature. I love the boys' own fire and how cool they felt about it. The buck looks so pathetic with its tongue all hanging out.
