Hunting camp

We went a-huntin' and a-campin' this weekend. It was Miri's first time sleeping in a tent.

She fared pretty well, except when Seth woke the entire tentload of people to go hunting at 5 a.m. Gratefully, she fell asleep pretty quickly after I brought her into bed with me. I, on the other hand, didn't fall asleep at all after that because I was paranoid about squishing/smothering my five-month-old.

Seth got a shot at a cow Saturday morning, but the darn thing ran away. (Stupid elk ... why don't they just HOLD STILL and allow themselves to be shot?!) When he and the other hunters got back into camp, we had some lunch, some chat-time, and some s'mores.

Analee's s'more proved to be the messiest thing at hunting camp.

Bekah enjoyed her tasty treat.

Proof of Ana's sticky mess.

Miriam also had her first taste of solid food while at camp. Most (read: sane) people start with cereal. We cut straight to the good stuff.

She quite enjoyed it.

Seth stole Miri's treat.

Still more proof of Ana's mess.

Stay tuned for further hunting camp shenanigans in a few weeks. Archery season lasts all September, you know!
