Hunting / Family campout

We had another fun 24 hour camp out. We hunted a little played games a little (Ty and Alyona lost at the marble game best out of 5). Just a good one nighter.Here mom and I are. After this pic she asked for the camera and took about 10 pics of me thinking she was funny. She took a pic of my shoes, my hands zoomed in and zoomed out. Look at the last pic.
Ty, Alyona and myself came up a couple hours earlier then mom and the kids who had work and school.
Ty talked me out of taking the chain saw and Alyona wanted a fire and it was a bit chilly , so Ty made her a fire and chopped wood with a hatchet for about an hour. As you can see A was happy!
Ty went out for an evening hunt the first night, I grabbed my gun and went to the road and hunted while I waited for mom and the kids to show.
We did laugh a lot until about 11p.m. We also played a couple of 6 sided marble games.
We got up at 6:15 a.m. ate a little breakfast and headed out. We arrived back at noon. Ty shot a coyote and I saw 3 doe and that was all in 5.5 hours of hunting.Ty and A went for a ride, I took Jordin on one a couple hours prior. Mom said she had fun even though A, Jessi and mom were conspiring on face book to see that we didn't get anything. Their prayers were answered. I guess if you get something that is when the real work begins. I asked Blake to take the pics of mom and myself, I didn't realize that he and Jordin would take a few extra on their own.
Thanks kids!
A little look at what camp looked like. Next year we are going for a week!
Mom always loves a good fire. A said that we should have brought the crackers, marshmellas and choc for smores.
Blake wanted to play chew and show. Below is one of the many tha tmom took thinking she was funny. She laughed about this....

Listen hear everyone Alyona has become very aggressive when it comes to marbles. SO WATCH OUT!... and I was happy, we had to humble Tyrel a bit.
