Two Birthdays

 Well it has been two weeks since we had our exciting hunt in Soda Springs. Back at home we started our search for a car. Meanwhile we started preparing for winter. Grandma’s dad came and spent a few days with us. We kept test driving cars and finally bought one. We had church Sunday including staying for Sunday school. Come Monday we headed for Soda Springs for Caleb’s birthday. We had a good time then on Tuesday we went to see Drew, Gail, and John. What fun. It being kenna,s birthday we headed to their place. Kenna got a guitar for her birthday they had a real band. We spent the night and then headed home. We stopped at Cabbela’s and I was surprised to see how little inventory they have. All we purchased was some things for Christmas for the girls. I drove home all the way. We had a great trip. We had a trip to the dentist but everything is really good. It has turned off really cold so I go for a walk in the afternoon. I try to spend an hour each day on a cleaning program. It is hard to get rid of stuff instead of just moving it and reorganizing things. The wind has really picked up and the bottom has dropped out it was 15 degrees this morning. It being Sunday we don’t have to go anywhere. I found some great pictures from the trip to horse creek hot springs.

Soda springs hunt

Since it was possible that pat and Laura’s kids might not be able to go hunting in November I decided to go hunting on opening day with them down by their house. Arriving at their house before sunup on the opening day a Saturday we geared up and headed out. Not having much knowledge of the area I went on a drive pat suggested. We could only shoot bucks so our chances were somewhat limited. We started seeing deer real soon but n bucks. Through the day we were able to see 31 deer. About 9 am a fellow flagged us down his uncle had shot a moose and needed help. So, we helped drag a big bull moose off the hill. The kids thought it was good fun. We ate lunch and the kids got their initials in a tree. I cooked supper consisting of the famous potatoes, burger, noodles, and tomato soup. This with toast and brownies with ice cream for desert. We stayed over and went to church ate lunch and came home. I hope the pictures work out.
