What we did...

Since Ryan took off for weekend #1 for the hunt I decided it was time to head up to my sisters house for a little visit.  Its been far to long since I have been there so It was a must.  Last minute my Mom decided to tag along.  We had a great time! We stayed up late talking the day we got there so we didn't get to bed until well after midnight.  On Saturday we went to a cute diner for breakfast, visited the ice caves, headed up to Sun Valley for some sight seeing and shopping, Ate a yummy steak dinner, grabbed some ice cream and carmel apples, wondered around and saw some incredibly HUGE houses.















While I was having a great time with my family... 
Ryan was having the time of his life hunting this once in a lifetime hunt.
He drew out on the Paunsaugunt this year. He has been putting in for that hunt since he was 16 years old.
and guess what... On opening day... HE GOT A DEER!
Check out this bad boy. I was so excited when he called to tell me the news.
Look how happy he looks in these pictures. 




Poor bambi... but I promise we put this big guy to good use. I don't know if I have ever mentioned but the only meat in out house is deer meat.  Over the next few days we will be busy butchering this deer up to last us this next year. We are out of hamburger so I am very excited.
Even though he got his deer he will still be going down again next weekend to be with his Dad and Brother-- plus he has an Elk tag so hunting is far from being over.

Yeah for Ryan!!
