Hunting Trip

For those of you who don't know, Chris is a hunter. Now don't be shocked, he doesn't do it just for sport. Anything he shoots (or harvests, as some like to say) becomes food. We traveled Oregon at the end of October for an elk hunting trip at Grandpa Dow's ranch. Let me tell you, it is a LONG drive to Prineville, Oregon with a baby in the car. Hannah actually traveled very well, we just took two days to travel each way and did a lot of singing in the car.
The ranch is beautiful. We had lots of fun up there with Chris' parents, Doc, Auntie Rita and Chris' cousin Ryan. The extra blessing was getting to see my grandparents on my dad's side. They live in the same town as Chris' grandpa, and had never met Chris or Hannah. We spent an afternoon visiting at their house and catching up.
It was a successful hunting trip, we now have a freezer full of meat in the garage. Be warned that there is one dead animal picture in the slideshow.
