The Hunting Party



Sometimes it's hard for us to find time to hang out together as a family. I know it will only get worse the older our kids get so I really shouldn't complain. But it's kind of fun to get creative in finding ways to be together. For example, in the late summer Rob would go out on the desert in the evenings to look for elk to prepare for archery season. Since he is such an awesome husband and father, he would invite us to go with him. And because we would normally get back way after their bedtime, we would get the girls in their jammies and head out on the desert. I'm sure the girls and I scared away more elk than we saw but we had so much fun together and Ellie got really good at spotting elk and antelope.

Our favorite Ellie quote from our hunting expeditions:
Do elks like cheerios?

So fun! Liv had a nightmare the other night and I asked her what happened, she cried, I couldn't find an elk for daddy. I love the moments!
