Family Trip

Last week our family was able to get away to the mountains for a couple of days. My dad got us a condo up on Mt hood (Thanks Dad) and we were able to relax and enjoy the mountains. There wasn't quite snow yet but we were able to drive up to Timberline lodge at the top and enjoy the amazing and beautiful scenery there was to take in.

Aaron's pride and Joy

And no he was not talking about our kids. Aaron went on a hunting trip this last weekend with some friends and had quite the experience. In his own words he said,

"It was the best trip and the worst trip all at the same time."

Worst part: On the first day of the trip Aaron looses his gun along with the brand new scope he just had mounted. Don't ask how. I am still trying to figure out how you loose a gun of that size right off your back. Aaron's not sure either. (PS: We did find out because he is a member of the NRA, he has insurance on his guns, and they will be replacing all that was lost. Phew! )

Best Part: On the last day while still looking for his gun, Aaron see a giant buck makes the kill Apparently it is a black tale buck with a 4 X 5 rack. The biggest he's ever shot.

(For all of my non-hunting gal friends out there the 4 X 5 referees to the number of points a deer has on its antlers. I had to learn all of these things post marriage :)

He is so proud and now is talking about it getting mounted. Oh my!

Let's just say you won't be seeing it over my sofa anytime soon.

Way to go A!
