"Shot deer with arrow?"

For those of you who don't know, we go on a yearly campout for the opener of the bow hunt. It's pretty dang fun. There are a ton of people there and we do things like candy hunts, play cards, animal hunt for the kids, testimony meeting, ambushes on the way to Blue Lake, and pretty much just have a blast. Here are a few pics of our adventure this year!

The hippos Coop found on the annual animal hunt. He's sharing the baby hippo with Ava and you can tell she's loving it! What a good big brother

Coop and Izzy are only 2mos apart and they were pretty good buds the whole time! They just followed each other around and played. I'm not sure if the bottom right pic is a hug or a tackle by Coop but it was cute either way =)

Little Ave's first camping trip! She even had some camou for the event. She didn't love camping like Cooper does but maybe next time when it's not quite as windy. Hopefully...

Candy hunt-Justin and I like this just as much as Coop does. We always get to share a few pieces of his candy

It's hard to see but Justin's relative set up a zipline for everyone. It was awesome! This year we actually had a harness which made it much easier to jump off the rocks! Coop picked some really pretty wild flowers for me with aunt Britney and he also got to use his new fishing pole.

One of Justin's cousins got a deer this year and Cooper went to see it. He still says things like, "Tyler shot deer with the arrow?" "Me touched it!" "That deer must be scared we get him with a arrow!" For a girl not raised in a hunting family I sure have one little hunter in the making. Uh-oh
