CARIBOU!!!

Lyle and his friends Rob and BJ just barely got back from Quebec after a week of hunting caribou. Successfully they all came home in one piece and with 2 caribou each. They all had alot of fun and had a great experience with most of it. Supposedly it wasn't that great of a year to go caribou hunting because their is always 2 migrating herds that come together every year but for some reason this year one of the herds never crossed the river and met up with the other herd which left 200,000 less caribou this year then in years before. Luckily for them they were all able to tag out unlike alot of the other hunters that went up there. One of the groups had 20 tags and were only able to get 5 bulls and 1 cow.

They hiked 4 miles from camp and saw this herd migrating, 3 guys 6 bulls down within 2-3 hours.


Because they were so far away from camp it took them 3 days to pack all of the meat back. It's a good thing that they got them within the first few days they were there.

YEA!!! Here we are riding at Mater at the fair. I am a big fan of the fair and Lyle doesn't like it so much but he puts up with it once every year for me.
One morning I got left elk hunting so when I finally decided to get my lazy butt up out of bed Hunter took me up the mountain and called for me. I was a little hesitant about him calling but when he did, he did an excellent job better then I could have done. Unfortunately we didn't see anything that half and hour we sat but he had fun and that was all that counted.


I think she did actually get to taste a little bit of that ice cream!

Rylee is such a little cheeseball. Whenever she sees a camera she is smiling and posing like crazy.
Here is Hunter and his cast again, he was finally able to get it off and oh my gosh that was disgusting, dead skin everywhere and Hunter would not leave it alone. He would sit there and pick at it whenever he had to sit down for two seconds, in the car, at the dinner table, everywhere! He had to wear a wrap for a week after he got the cast off and then after the wrap he couldn't play rough or anything for 10 more days. I don't think the orthopedic surgeon has kids cause if he did he would realize how ridiculous of a statement that was. Has he ever tried to get a 3 yr old boy to not play rough for a day let alone 10 days!!! ha ha!!!
