Quality time on the Deer Hunt

Tren and I were able to take our nephew Hudson on the deer hunt this year. It was just the 3 of us and we had a lot of fun, even though the whether was AWFUL! Huddy was so much fun to have and a lot easier than I thought he would be. He is normally a really shy kid around his Aunt Chylie but he warmed up pretty quick and I loved it!
This was Huddy's first hunt and I think he really liked it. We used Tren's parents motor home to camp out for the weekend which made it all that much more fun.
Here is Huddy and Uncle T at 6am eating a good breakfast before we head out for opening day of the hunt.

The morning was gorgeous and semi warm considering it was October and we were in the mountains. Hudson did SO good with the hiking. He only mentioned his feet hurting one time and that was all the complaining we got! He was such a trooper!

It was absolutely gorgeous up there!
Huddy and Uncle T lookin for deer. These two were SO cute! Tren was so good and patient when he was teaching Hudson how to hunt and reminding him to be quiet when he hiked. Tren will be an amazing daddy one day.

The boys - Huddy adores his uncle T. He would do everything Tren did. It was the cutest thing to watch!
Huddy was hiking so hard he needed a little help getting off some of the layers Aunt Chylie put him in. Poor kid had a bunch of clothes on - but I didn't want him to be freezing in the middle of the mountains!
I love this picture!
The amazing views
It started raining/snowing/sleeting while we were hiking. We decided to head back to camp and wait it out. I was exhausted. Tren got a picture of me and my babies taking a nap. (sorry Tory that my dogs were on your bed!)
I woke up from my nap expecting the boys to be napping too. I guess Hudson didn't need a nap so uncle T stayed awake and played games with him.
Round 2 - getting ready for the evening hunt. The rain died down just enough that we could hike around for awhile.
Hudson getting all his layers on again! He was ready for some more hunting.
Just as we pulled up to park at the base of a trail Tren wanted to hike, we realized the little guy who didn't need a nap earlier was passed out. He didn't even flinch when I took his picture with a bright flash. We laughed it off and decided we would road hunt until he woke up.
We had so much fun hunting over the weekend. We didn't get a big buck but we still had a blast. Hudson is asking for camo everything for Christmas. He can't wait for next year!
