Annual Hunting Shack Fun!!

One of the things we like to do is go out in the middle of nowhere to my dad's hunting shack. This year he has a new one he's making into a cozy little bungalo. He even dug a little pond where the kids had a blast throwing rocks on the ice and banging sticks. This kept them content for quite sometime. It doesn't take much. One of the times we went it just snowed so it made it even more fun for them to play. We had one of our Thanksgiving meals out here.

Here they are going on their walk down the trail to feed the deer. My dad cheats and leaves corn piles and lures them in. Just kidding dad.....but I don't think you even caught a deer this year did you. He claims he just likes to watch them and not shoot them...that those days are over, but he sure was spitting and sputtering when Craig got his. No the gun is not loaded, but he said he had to bring it in case there were "bears"

Dad lets each of the kids fill up their own little bucket of corn to take to the deer. Here's Bradley sneaking more corn from the bin.

Grandpa and Alayna

This ones for you dad....don't fall in!!!

Colleen, Grandpa and the kiddos

Here's a few shots of them playing by the water throwing their rocks at the ice.

I wanted to see the shack Heidi! I've heard you talk about this before, and I love to see the people and places that you talk fondly about!

What a cool place, it sounds like! It's no wonder you married Mr. Macgyver...the outdoors in just in your blood! It sounds like the perfect kind of vacation to me - just lots of family time, playing outside, just being together!

The kids sure had a good time with Grampa. I got a kick out of Bradley sneaking more corn. The smile on his face is so dang cute. Kiss and hug my babies for me . Love Gramma Cathy
