The purpose of this post is to demonstrate my feelings for Travis. I went (voluntarily) on a hunting/camping trip in which I slept in a tent, and I had a great time!
Over Labor Day weekend Travis invited me to go with him and his sister's family on a hunting/camping trip. Travis and I got to the campsite around 10 p.m. Friday night and set up the tent quickly and then went to bed. The sleeping bag he took for me was spectacular. It was pretty cold at night and I was warm and snug in my sleeping bag.
The men (Travis, Troy, and Travis' nephew Kaden) were up at 4:15 Saturday morning to start their hike. They took their bows and were off to find deer and elk. The rest of us slept until just after 8, got up and had breakfast and then I visited with Lacey for awhile. Travis reappeared about 10:30 with Kaden, Troy, and Troy's brother Jay soon to follow. We spent the rest of the afternoon just visiting and napping. Nice and relaxing. Just after 5:30 we all piled in Travis' truck to do some drive hunting. We drove around a couple of the nearby canyons looking for animals and didn't find anything. It was fun to watch Travis in action. He gets so excited and focused when he's involved in something he loves. We got back, had a delicious dinner, and Troy and the kids lit a fire.
Sunday the men decided to stay at camp since the animals were nowhere to be found. We spent part of the day fishing at Potter's Pond and then another nap. :) Late afternoon Jay came back and mentioned he had seen elk behind his property. We had camp down in 20 minutes and were on our way to Jay's house. The guys grabbed their bows and took off. Lacey, the kids, and I made ourselves at home in Jay's house. We ate dinner in his kitchen, watched TV, and we all took a turn in the shower.
It was a great weekend. I survived camping, much to everyone's surprise. It was WAY better than Girls' Camp ever was, and I'm even willing to do it again. Thanks Travis for letting me tag along!

This is what we looked like at bedtime. We're not used to the cold temperatures anymore!
