This weekend we took our last camping trip of the year with Ben's parents to Johnson Sauk Trail Campgrounds near Kewanee. It seems like all we do is camp when you look at our blog but it is a proven, tried and true way to get away, relax, and take a break from the busyness of life! This school year has been busy but going great
for both of us; however, we both were ready to relax this weekend! Ben was able to FINALLY mount his first rack from the first buck that he shot, back in 2004. I have to say that his finished product looks pretty good... I might even let him hang it in our house... some day! :) Now he is excited to mount the monster that he shot last year and I am sure he will post pictures when he does (he didn't bring it along or I am sure it would be done by now). While he was working on his project I took the opportunity to do some target practice with my bow as I prepare for my first archery deer hunting season. I am right on the 40 pound pull boundary that is required to legally hunt... maybe Ben will be mounting my buck next! We did some hiking and got to spend a lot of quality time with our boys, Toby and Chester. Saturday night my parents and Abby and the kids all came out for dinner and a fire... Joe was on a last minute business trip so it worked out perfect to have Abb join us. It was a fun weekend as the temperature was low - perfect fire weather, and the leaves are turning colors. It's sad to say that this is the last camping weekend but I guess that means we get to start planning next years adventures!
