Labor Day weekend/hunting camp

Labor Day weekend had much of the same as other years. We hauled the trailer and our equipment up on Friday, September 1 and camped with the Grovers in our usual spot. Seth and Rebekah went hunting while the rest of us hung around at camp. We thought we'd have a Grover dinner together on Sunday like we usually do, but the rain drove most everyone out, so we had a quiet dinner instead in our trailer. Nobody harvested an animal this year, but we enjoyed our time in nature.

Some of us returned other times throughout the month for more hunting/camping.

Andrea and Winnie ride on the four-wheeler on Saturday, September 2.

The fairy house Winnie made in camp on Saturday, September 2. It had been a wet year, so there were more mushrooms and more types of mushrooms than I had ever seen before up there.

Rebekah snuggles up to a very dead elk she and Seth found in the woods on Saturday, September 2.

The girls point to a monstrous mushroom we found at Grandma Hendricks' cabin on Sunday, September 3. We went to church at Mack's Inn and spent most of Sunday at the cabin because of the rain.
