This 'N That

October is flying by - we're already on the downhill side of it and November will be here before we know it!

While Glenn was hunting, I rode with Jaime to see Kylan play soccer!  He plays with kids that are 11 and 12 so he's one of the smallest on his team but he did a great job and it was fun to watch him play goalie!!


We're at that time of year where the sunrises are absolutely gorgeous!!  Every morning that there's a thin layer of clouds, this is what we see!  What a joy to wake up to sunrises like this!


Glenn went hunting up to Walden with our neighbors Al and Peggy, and their son Cody.  Because it was supposed to be so cold up there, Glenn had to drain and winterize the 5th wheel and just take water to drink and heat up for dishes!  It did get pretty cold he said!  They had a great time and Cody took the prize for getting the elk!


Here's the crew standing by our 5th wheel!


So the elk was split between the 3 of them which meant cutting it all up!!  We headed over to their place last night with our large grinder and spent the next 4 hours cutting and grinding and weighing and wrapping!!


We have a great relationship with our neighbors so even though it was work, we all had a fun time!



Cody lives in CO. Springs so he didn't make it up to help but we figured since he got the elk, we could sure take care of the meat!

We were all pretty tired by the time we were done - I had been to the zoo that day with the Keppys (more on that in my next blog) so did a lot of walking there and a lot of standing taking care of the meat!!  It was a great job to get done!!
