Fall Camping 2010

Last weekend we decided to go camping. Matt is heading hunting soon and he wanted to scope out some of the area where he'll be hunting. The girls and I tagged along to enjoy one last hooray before winter comes. We camped in Wilbur which is a little town about 2 hours northwest of us.


On Saturday we drove out to Jones Bay on Lake Roosevelt and did a little fishing and rock hunting. Matt and the girls didn't catch anything but it was nice just to enjoy the scenery and quiet.




For lunch we decided to drive to Keller and have a picnic lunch at the campground. The road going to Keller is steep and windy and had an awesome view of Lake Roosevelt at the top.




Matt and the girls enjoyed goofing around on the playground equipment....





Grace and Kaitlyn had fun just goof around...

That afternoon Matt, Grace and I set out on some public land to see if we could see any deer. Matt had bought Grace her own binoculars and she was VERY into looking for deer. Matt spent some time teaching Grace were to look and what to look for. She is excited to do her hunter education and get her hunting license next year and get herself a deer. ( Right now as I post this they are sitting next to me going through some questions that she will be tested on. )




We went through a little town called Govan and this was their school house. I thought it was pretty cool and had to take a picture.




We saw these 5 little yearling bucks on the way out of town on Sunday. All together Matt and Grace saw about 50 deer both does and bucks over the weekend. Praying that they will be out in a couple weeks when Matt goes hunting.
