AS Most of you Know life as we know it comes to a schreeeeeeeeeeeeching Hault in August and September. Yes if anyone plans on seeing us you know that we are pretty much unavailable for a few weeks this time of year. It starts ealier every year, planning "The Hunt" this year back in June the plan for this beautiful house in the woods was being draw up. No this is not your regular average Cabin kit, this is a custom built one of a kind, 14 foot off the ground (cabin in the Sky) if you will, built for 2-3 Men able to house 50. So here it is, a house built for 2! Cozy isn't it. Bry and Randy headed out on Friday afternoon with a dirt bike, a banchie and 2 80lb. packs for hiking up to this state of the art 5 star hotel for the weekend. I had to remind Bry to not forget his sleeping bag and his underwear when he said, "I hope i have everything" (Yes, people he has forgotten his underwear before) This was intended to help make their hunting experience a little easier, but if you ask me, the weekends spent building it and hiking to it, the 2 mile, tree fallen, boulder climing, straight up hill hike with 80lbs on the back, does not seem to be easier to me. Actually seems a little nuts, yes, i said it nuts! BUt there you have it, Boys and Hunting, there is nothing gettin past this. Needless to say here i am in my warm house with my two fabulous children, we have been to the fair, rode a bull, seen "Despicable Me", "Eat, Pray, Love" and eatin yummy popcorn and candy, had warm home cooked meals and goodies, gone running early in the morning thru the wetlands and taken a few short bike ride with the kids, watched a few episodes of "LOST" in the comfort of my bed, while the MEN have been sitting in a tree stand eating Mountain Meals in bags and being rained on 14 feet in the air with wind and chill, while sleeping in a hammock with a sleeping bag that yes, I reminded him to take. Hmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! As much as we miss being with him this year for the Big OPENER, i am happy to say that i am not sitting in that tree stand with him this cold rainy night. Oh, yes, he offered for me to join him. I graciously declined this time, but i am sure that there will come a time that I too will hike that hill to see for myself this fabulous MANSION IN THE SKY! Good luck Boys all i ask is that you come home safe and yes, Do NOT forget the Meat! LOVE, LOVE

I'm with you on taking it easy!! :) Too bad they got rained out and are more like a lightning rod in the sky. {scary!!} There's always next time!
NICE! But, you go on ahead Vicki. I'm more of the movie in bed type of girl. Happy shooting Bry!
Wow! When these guy do something, they go all out don't they? Glad they are having their kind of fun, but I'm also glad you stayed home. When kids get in school, it kinda limits your ability to just go, but you'll have your turn ;)
